It has been noticed that children enjoy dancing, and it provides them with a lot of positive feelings, such as happiness, hope, strength, and joy. Previous studies have claimed that dancing may improve children's health-related quality of life such as cardiovascular fitness and contribute to healthy weight maintenance (Kihm et al., 2017). Performing arts have an impact on children's mental health and well-being because some children have difficulty expressing their feelings, therefore dance allows the child to express feelings while providing a safe space for the child to relieve stress (Moula et al., 2022). If the children are stressed, sad, or unhappy, dancing and listening to music will release all of the negative energy, and they will feel relaxed and happy. The importance of dancing is not limited to that; it also helps the child develop his social and emotional abilities through dancing with his classmates. Through dancing, children express their feelings and improves communication skills as well as fine and gross motor skills. To develop fine and motor skills, the child must be exposed to dance from a young age, therefore improving their memory by hearing the songs and lyrics. Furthermore, dance is helpful to children's coordination in a variety of ways. There are hand-eye coordination develops. When they hear the beat of a song, children have a natural tendency to want to dance. Dancing is an excellent approach to improving balance and coordination.
It is recommended that dance be integrated into the child's school curriculum so that the child can learn the subjects in a more effective way. For example, integrating a dance for the numbers into the child's math lesson helps the child memorize and understand numbers well and in a fun way, ensuring that he does not forget them. So, let us benefit on children's love of dance and incorporate it into their lessons to make learning more enjoyable.

In conclusion, the integration of dance with kindergarten will attract students' attention and motivates them to learn more quickly along with being creative.
