Third, teachers have not found the proper method for creating exciting learning activities for children. Fourth, the child does not want to do dance movements. Shows that the child's gross motor development condition is deficient. Based on this, the researchers implemented dancing activities. This research aims to improve children's gross motor development. This type of research is Classroom Action Research (PTK).
