“…Dancers tend to value the primary importance of the creative process, even more than the product (Clements & Redding, 2020). According to Beard and Csikszentmihalyi (2014), creative individuals generally focused on the process and were much less interested in the product.…”

In this study, flow, both dispositional and state, and movement‐based creative processing were investigated in a group of pre‐professional and professional dancers (N = 288) who were involved in the creation, rehearsal, and performance of a new dance work(s). Dance is both movement‐based and group‐based. The Experience of Creativity Questionnaire and Dispositional Flow Scale were administered 2 weeks prior to the performance of the new choreography. The state flow data were collected immediately after the completion of the final dress rehearsal and immediately following the opening night performance. The results of this quasi‐experimental study demonstrated that the association with creative processes and dispositional flow dimensions yielded weak significance. Many creative processing dimensions predicted state dress and performance flow conditions, although the predominant predictors were Clarity and Preparation, Creative Anxiety (negative predictor), and Beyond the Personal. The uniqueness of this study was that it focused on movement‐based creative processing and its relation with dispositional and state flow.

“…and even use deliberate practice theory to help learners improve the elaboration of their dance movements. The psychological view is that one of the criteria for assessing creativity is elaboration (Clements and Redding, 2020), which refers to the degree to which an idea is developed and refined (Goff, 2002). If breakdance teachers have a good understanding of creativity, then they can more effectively foster learners' creativity.…”

“…The next section of this article will discuss how to breakdance teachers can enhance children's creativity from creativity level theory. As noted by Clements and Redding (2020), creativity in dance can be developed through technique and theory. Kaufman and Beghetto (2009) define creativity as having four levels: Mini-C creativity (subjectively recognized creativity), Little-C creativity (creativity recognized from others), Pro-C creativity (creativity classified as a novel and significant contribution by experts in the area), and Big-C creativity (major creative achievements that only a few people can achieve).…”

2022

Many historical works have attempted to reveal the process of the sportification of physical activity that originated in the eighteenth century. The process of sportification can be divided into three basic mechanisms: The institutionalization of practices, the formalization of standards, and the specialization of roles. Marginalized and discriminated lower-class American youths first used breakdancing to express their emotions. Nowadays, it has been announced by the International Olympic Committee as part of the Paris 2024 Olympic program in Paris, France. Therefore, this change may also further the specialization of breakdance teaching. In addition, this mini-review believes that it is necessary for breakdancing teachers, students, and judges to have a clear understanding of creativity, as it is often used as an essential scoring criterion in breakdancing competitions. This mini-review also shows the origins and evolution of breakdance. Cipher as a form of artistic communication produced the domino effect, which promoted the widespread popularity of breakdance worldwide. Creativity has also driven the evolution of breakdance moves. Finally, this article discusses the advantages and examples of the Four C models and suggests a set of methods for breakdance teachers to foster creativity in breakdance students.

“…It refers to the ability to create things which are useful and meaningful (Wicaksono, 2009). Although many researchers have investigated elements in dance choreography such as examining the formative and summative assessment in choreography dance (Milling & Green, 2014), the correlation between variables within the choreography dance (Musil, 2005), investigating the design and approach in teaching choreography dance (Lepczyk, Wagner, & Cennamo, 2018;McClam, 2018;Ohlberg, 2020), examining the proposed treatments in choreography dance (Butterworth, 2004;MacBean, 2004;van Dyke, 2005), exploring the ethics and values in choreography dance (Calamoneri, Dunagan, & McCarthy-Brown, 2020;Urmston & Aujla, 2019), investigating professionalism in teaching choreography dance (Wilmot, 2019), exploring communal in dancing (Chang & Hogans, 2019), and creative process in choreography (Alaways, 2020;Clements & Redding, 2020), references to the impact of students' local wisdom on students' creativity are still few. It can give more comprehensive results if the comparison between creativity in dance performance after local wisdom has been implemented is also examined.…”

Technology-based media can increase students’ motivation more than equipping their teaching materials with traditional ones. This article aims to describe the difference between the dance performance of students taught by exploring local wisdom from YouTube and those who are taught by the conventional method. This quasi-experimental study describes whether local wisdom and technology via YouTube can effectively increase Indonesian students’ dance performance at the higher education level. A number of 205 students participated in this research. A dance performance test, two scoring rubrics, and a questionnaire were used. The result of statistical analysis shows that exploring the values of local wisdom from YouTube videos can give a significant effect on students’ dance performance with sig. = .000. In terms of gender, there is a significant difference between female and male students after being taught by exploring local wisdom from YouTube videos (sig. = .000). Moreover, females also achieve better than males in terms of creativity including fluency, flexibility, elaboration, and originality of their dance products. The results of the questionnaire reveal that students appreciate and feel helped by integrating local wisdom and YouTube videos in the choreography course and agree that the values of local wisdom direct their dance performance in terms of movement, attitude, costume, and creativity.
