This study aimed to confirm the processes of skill acquisition and cognitive activity during creative learning by lower grade elementary school students engaged in rhythmic dance classes. A model of the process of deeper learning was used as a basis. The following results were obtained: (1) The students’ skills were improved by bouncing the navel and dancing rhythmically throughout the teaching unit; (2) By shared understanding of what good movement is, pupils could focus on certain parts of the body; and (3) By attempting an assignment that required each student to dance while interacting with others, the pupils learned dance skills and, additionally, produced creative expressions while envisioning spatial changes and the interaction with others; these were new frameworks for them. These results showed that there was synchronism of the pupils’ movement and their associated cognition. This is important when planning exploratory rhythmic dance classes. Additionally, I discuss the necessity for adequate educational intervention.
