Abstract

The purposes of this study were to explore an Indonesian creative dance called Gembira dance to find mathematical concepts and describe the views of teachers and students on the results of exploration. This study was qualitative research that used multi paradigms namely postmodernism, interpretivism, and criticalism. Techniques for collecting data used writing critical auto|etnography, writing as inquiry, postmodern interview, and data collection matrix. Maritaria’s stories and experiences as a dancer, a dance teacher in an elementary school and an elementary school classroom teacher are being the narrative data of this study. The results of this study were elementary school mathematical concepts, including number concepts, number operation concepts, geometry and measurement concepts. In the view of teachers and students, these findings could be used as a source of mathematical learning based on the creative dance.
