The study aimed to comprehend the understanding about popular dance by participants in the Dance in Agreste extension project and the impacts of university extension on their education process. This exploratory, descriptive and quali-quantitative research involved 18 participants who answered a questionnaire, in addition there was an unsystematic observation in one of the dance group's rehearsals. The results showed that the participants had their knowledge about popular dance expanded; the project took on a relevant role in the encounter between theory and practice of the knowledge learned during graduation; contact with the community allowed participants to expand their experiences and perceptions of the role of dance in society. Such investigations contribute to a discussion about university extension in the education process, in the sense of developing knowledge, experiences and impressions resulting from a practice articulated with the reality of knowledge.
