This theoretical-practical essay aims to discuss the teaching and learning of movement from an aesthetic and interdisciplinary perspective, using the teaching of the basketball layup as an example within the context of initial teacher education in Physical Education. Grounded in the principles of movement didactics, aesthetic education, and the genetic teaching and learning of team sports, the study articulates different theoretical frameworks, including the phenomenology of movement, Gestalt theory, movement morphology, and a critical pedagogical perspective on the educational use of digital media. Methodologically, the essay draws on a participatory research approach, developed with graduate students, an undergraduate research assistant, and faculty members from the field of Education at a Brazilian public university, integrating bodily practices, collective reflection, and creative processes throughout the formative trajectory. The core of the proposal consisted of transforming the layup technique into an object of aesthetic action through the creation of a movement image-sequence mediated by the pedagogical use of digital media. The findings indicate that the articulation between practice, reflection, and aesthetic creation fosters an expanded understanding of learning to move, shifting the focus from isolated technical performance to the perceptual, expressive, and relational experience of movement. It is concluded that aesthetic education of movement constitutes a powerful axis for Physical Education teaching, especially when conceived within interdisciplinary and formative contexts.
