Puzzles were chosen because they are educational toys whose prices are relatively affordable, and their use can be adjusted to the child's level of development. This learning concept is needed especially by teachers who do not have the knowledge of dance education but have to teach dance in elementary schools. To achieve this goal, the material object studied is the essence of learning dance in elementary school and puzzles. The formal object is descriptive correlational, an approach that seeks to describe the phenomenon of the material object being studied and the relationship between these material objects. The results of this study are the concept of using dance puzzles in teaching dance in elementary schools. The sources obtained from this research are the concepts constructed from this research that can be applied to dance learning in elementary schools. One of the implications of the results of this research is that teachers who do not have a scientific basis for dance education can teach dance proportionally in elementary schools. Keywords:puzzles, learning, dance. Abstract This study aims to give birth to the concept of learning dance in elementary schools (SD) using puzzle media. Puzzle was chosen because it is aeducational toys whose prices are relatively affordable, and their use can be adapted to the child's developmental level. This learning concept is needed especially by teachers who do not have the knowledge of dance education but must teach dance in elementary schools. To achieve this goal, the material objects studied are the essence of learning dance in elementary school and puzzles. The formal object is correlational descriptive, namely an approach that seeks to describe the phenomena of the material objects studied and the relationship between these material objects. The results of this study are the concept of using dance puzzles in dance learning in elementary school. The conclusions obtained from this study are the concepts constructed from this research can be applied to dance learning in elementary schools. . Keywords:puzzle, learning, dance art. PRELIMINARY This research is based on two basic things. First, dance education in elementary schools (SD) is still held by classroom teachers who generally do not understand the art of dance in the context of education. Children are crammed with rote movements without being given the space to develop all their creative potential. As a result, the creative potential of children is defeated by the final product of learning, namely a dance that does not give children space to display all their potential intelligence. Second, until now, dance learning media in elementary schools that can help teachers who do not have a scientific basis for dance education but have to teach dance for education are very rare. Based on the two things above, this study was conducted to find the concept of educational dance learning in elementary schools using traditional Indonesian dance puzzles as a medium of learning. The aim is to offer alternative solutions for dance learning models in elementary schools that are effective, efficient, and able to grow various intelligences and the creative potential of students. The above is quite basic because there are at least two important things. First, puzzles
