The study approaches the relationship between the feminine and their maturity with the practice of ballroom dancing by frequenters of social clubs in the city of Fortaleza - Ceará, a practice that leads us to understand, as a research category, their independence and autonomy to perform this activity. The general objective is to understand the relationship between dance, maturity and the feminine universe in the ballroom dancing on Sunday afternoons in social clubs in the city of Fortaleza today. The research was based on several theorists of the studied fields: Beavoir (2018), Goldenberg (2011), Freitas (2005), Monteiro (2007), Bosi (1994), Capucha (2005), Navarro (2017), Morais (2013) Tonial (2011), Moreira (2008), Cavalcante, Holanda and Fernandes (2015), among others. He opted for the methodology of qualitative-descriptive, exploratory approach of the case study type, with the use of the techniques: direct observation through the locus of research, interviews with leaders and directors of social clubs and survey structured by the questionnaire applied with the research subjects. The relevance of the research in progress is in the approximation and deepening of the phenomenon in question in different times in society, where the female independence is focused primarily in relation to leisure and its autonomy, having in dance a possibility of leisure practice, a space for the development of sociability and emancipatory activity, female protagonism in its identity construction.
