<![CDATA[Creativity is one of the essential aspects that should be developed from an early age, as it plays a significant role in enhancing children's ability to think, imagine, solve problems, and express themselves. One approach that can be used to foster creativity in early childhood is dance education based on movement exploration. This study aims to analyze the role of movement exploration-based dance education in developing creativity among early childhood learners. The study employed a qualitative approach using a library research design. Data were collected from various scientific sources, including journal articles, books, conference proceedings, and research reports related to dance education, movement exploration, creativity, and early childhood education published within the last five years. Data collection was conducted through documentation techniques, while data were analyzed using content analysis involving data reduction, data presentation, data interpretation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that movement exploration-based dance education plays a significant role in fostering creativity among young children by providing opportunities to explore, imagine, and create movements independently. In addition to enhancing creativity, this learning approach also contributes to the development of children's motor, social-emotional, language, and cognitive skills. Therefore, movement exploration-based dance education can be considered an effective learning strategy to support the optimal development of creativity and overall potential in early childhood.]]>
