The paper explores the role of dance activities in the holistic development of preschool-aged children, emphasizing their benefits for motor, emotional, social, and cognitive development. Dance activities stimulate motor skills, coordination, and balance while simultaneously fostering creativity and emotional expression, contributing to their emotional development and the growth of self-confidence and self-awareness. Through group dance activities, children learn to cooperate, develop empathy, and enhance communication skills. Dance can also serve as a mean for acquiring basic academic knowledge, such as numbers and rhythm, thus supporting the cognitive development of the child. Despite the highlighted contributions of dance in the preschool years, it is essential to emphasize to children that merely completing the form of a dance movement is not enough; they should genuinely enjoy it. It is desirable to move away from set choreography and focus on creative expression in dance. The paper emphasizes the importance of integrating dance activities into the preschool curriculum to ensure a balanced and holistic approach to child development. The practical application of dance activities in working with preschool children involves designing dance programs tailored to the various developmental stages and needs of the children. An educator who is also a reflective practitioner will recognize the needs and interests of the children and respond to them with adapted activities so that every child can participate. Through positive support and encouragement, educators motivate children to participate in dance activities and develop their potential. Educators have the opportunity to significantly contribute to the holistic development of preschool children through dance activities, thus laying the foundations for the future success and well-being of the child.
