This study aims to determine the effect of dance extracurricular activities on character education of students at Al Choir Pangeran Jayakarta Elementary School, focusing on four character indicators: discipline, responsibility, cooperation, and self-confidence. Using a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method and a pretest-posttest control group design, the sample consisted of 30 second-grade students divided into an experimental group and a control group. The research instrument was a Likert scale questionnaire, and the data were analyzed through normality, homogeneity, paired sample t-test, and independent sample t-test tests. The results showed a significant increase in the character of students in the experimental group after participating in dance activities, as well as a significant difference in posttest scores compared to the control group. Thus, dance extracurricular activities have been proven to have a positive effect on the formation of character education of elementary school students.
