- Abstract
It is difficult for a class teacher to teach dancing course at school, because they find it very difficult to find the movements that will be knitted. These prolonged complaints will not end if there is no effort to always try and do something that is very possible to be done by class teachers. Dancing properties can be used as a source of inspiration in finding motion through the exploration process. The properties are those that are resulted by the children’s handicrafts that are taught in handicraft materials, for example making fans from origami paper, cigarette ashtrays from shells, kites and so on. The teacher guides students to make fan hand crafts with colorful paper, giving rise to the pattern and character of the color. Starting from the color character of the property, the teacher guides students to explore motion, so that they find motion motifs that are characterized by the color that is used as a medium for exploring motion. The forms of motion motifs that appear are the result of exploration supported by the knowledge, observation, appreciation, and imagination of children which are expressed through motion that comes from the handicrafts/property of the child himself. Furthermore, the teacher and the children collaborate to try to arrange these motion motifs in a series of dances that can be done without coercion, but are fun and carried out with a play approach. On the other hand, shell as a result of the handicraft is able to be used as an inspiration for exploring motion, and it can also function as a property in dance, so that a series of fan dances and shell dances is formed.
