Dance lives in each of us since the earliest years of life. Someone expresses it less, someone more, someone develops it, and some do not, depending on the character and interests of each person. It is well-known that pre-school age children identify dance with fun and joy, birthday celebrations, peer games, etc. But do those same kids, who are just starting elementary school, still think that dance plays an important role in their lives? This can only be discovered when teachers are fully devoted to physical and health education. Every teacher, with his/her good will, effort and desire, can really bring children closer to the dance and thus make every teaching process even more special than it initially was. Of course, dance can „spice up“ any lesson, in any field of study. By doing that, we can implement creative approach in order to interest and motivate students more for further work and progress. The aim of this paper was to present all the positive aspects of dance, highlighting where, why and how we can apply dance in physical and health education. Students need to get acquainted with various types of dance gradually and in an interesting way in order to understand its importance. Sometimes children of younger age perceive it to be difficult and unattractive, but it all depends on how and to what extent its content is presented. Using high-quality and appropriate choice of music and creative interpretation of everyday body movements, children can easily become interested and ready to accept dance. Also, it is important to keep in mind the various anthropological features of children and prepare a lesson accordingly. This means that teachers must get to know every student individually and monitor their development continuously. Moreover, in order for students to become more interested in dancing, the most important thing is that we, as teachers, get enough education in a field of physical education. In most cases, physical and health education as a subject in school is considered a time to play and enjoy leisure activities but that does not really have to be this way. If a teacher takes his/her subject seriously and puts enough effort into it, his students will feel it and follow his way of work. Every creative teacher can turn a simple movement into a dance story that will surely touch every child's soul.
