Dancing with movement includes music, and children who dance simultaneously participate in art. Creative dance is the most appropriate when working with children of preschool age. Although creative dance is an artistic expression based on natural movement and not on the movement of a specific style such as ballet, creative dance allows and requires spontaneous creativity and improvisation but can contain elements and dance styles of any dance. The elements of ballet combined with creative elements in dance in preschool age are carried out after the warm-up phase, preparing the children for physical activity. Body control is learned through ballet techniques, followed by creative movement which assists learning how to alter your movements using your imagination. The aim of this work was to examine the views of educators on the use of elements of classical ballet as a basis for children's dance creativity in kindergarten, as well as the way they are represented in kindergartens. The research included 135 educators employed in kindergartens throughout Croatia. The research instrument was based as the questionnaire: Ballet as a basis for dance creativity of children of early and preschool age. We can conclude that the majority of educators believe that the elements of classical ballet can be used as the basis for the dance creativity of children in kindergarten. However, most teachers do not use elements of ballet in dancing with children, which we can relate to the fact that they do not know the basics of ballet technique, but also to the fact that they do not feel competent enough in performing dance activities with children. The results of the research showed a high level of agreement among teachers with the statement that the teacher's knowledge of the basics of ballet, previous experience, motivation and attitude play a major role when using the elements of ballet as the basis for the dance creativity in children of early and preschool age. Most educators are interested in education (professional training) in artistic dance/ballet and creative dance.
