This study investigates how participants in dance education describe their experiences of a phenomenon called ”existential presence” with the help of jazz dance and what didactic factors makes it possible for them to experience it. With theory of the phenomenology-related lifeworld, the didactic relation map, and interview with low standardized questions as a method, came the results that show how the presence could be described in many different ways, how different individuals have different needs for the phenomenon to be possible, and that jazz dance and its strong relationship to the music is a possible opening for the presence to be.
