Abstract

Objective: The objective of this article is to elucidate the role of dancing in fostering the potential development of young children. Amidst the progression of Society 5.0, a multitude of novel art forms with social entertainment themes have surfaced, encompassing artistic expressions rooted in indigenous knowledge. A limited number of young toddlers exhibit a preference for dancing, despite the existence of novel dance forms tailored to their age group. The issue at hand pertains to the examination of the impact of emerging dance arts on young children within the context of societal advancements in the industrial revolution, sometimes referred to as Society 5.0. Method: The research methodology employed in this study was the utilization of qualitative methodologies for data collection. This encompassed doing a comprehensive review of relevant literature, making direct observations, and conducting in-depth interviews with selected informants. Qualitative data analysis was conducted utilizing symbol theory and practice theory. Results: The study's findings suggest that the implementation of novel dances tailored for young children, such as the bebek putih jambul and peteng bulan, can yield multiple beneficial outcomes. It can cultivate a heightened passion for dance among young children. It has the potential to bring about a change in the mindsets of young children towards a more optimistic view, marked by enhanced self-control, accountability, cooperation, environmental consciousness, and a sense of reverence towards Ida Sang Hyang Widhi. Lastly, it can act as a catalyst for Balinese artists, motivating them to produce performance arts that are more captivating to young children. Conclusion: The introduction of new dances designed specifically for young children, such as the bebek putih jambul and peteng bulan, can have several positive effects. Firstly, it can foster a greater enthusiasm for dancing among young children. Secondly, it can potentially lead to a shift in the attitudes of early childhood towards a more positive outlook, characterized by increased discipline, responsibility, collaboration, respect for the environment, and a sense of devotion towards God.
