Abstract
The dance learning process at Aryandini Kindergarten is attended by all children aged 4-6 years. This learning is carried out to train the development of children's cognitive, affective, motoric, social emotions, interests, talents, creativity, communication, instilling educational values and humanity, aesthetic sensitivity, and learning to preserve culture. This research aims to empower dance learning in forming children's character education. One of the dance titles being taught is bebegig dance. The method used in this research is a qualitative method with a case study approach. The result of the research shows that before the children actively danced, the value aspect of relationships with others and the value aspect of relationships with themselves obtained a score of less than 70, meanwhile, after they actively danced, the score increased to 90. In conclusion, by empowering dance learning, children's character education can be formed optimally.
