Implementation of Extracurricular Activities in Enhancing Student Creativity. The implementation of dance and speech extracurricular activities has been proven to provide a space for students to express their ideas, talents, and creative thinking skills. In dance activities, creativity is evident through students' ability to explore movement and artistic expression. Meanwhile, in speech activities, students' creativity is evident in their ability to compose scripts, convey ideas, and develop courage in public speaking. Teachers use a varied approach and encourage active participation, making the learning process more lively and supporting the growth of creativity. Factors Supporting and Inhibiting the Implementation of Extracurricular Activities The main supporting factors in implementing this extracurricular activity include school support, the competence of the supervising teacher, student enthusiasm, and the availability of performance venues such as competitions and school events. However, several inhibiting factors also exist, such as limited practice time, inadequate facilities, differences in student ability levels, and a lack of parental support. The school has attempted to overcome these obstacles through flexible time management, a personalized approach to guidance, and active communication with parents.]]>
