What is the process of dance creation? How can we encourage undergraduates (non-dance majors) to acquire creativity through such an artistic, creative process? This study tries to answer these questions. In Japanese undergraduate liberal arts education, there is a need for expressive and creative activities involving human emotions and the human body (Okada, 2014). For this study, in the summer semester of 2015, we designed a creative dance course in collaboration with a professional choreographer to improve undergraduates' awareness of themselves, others and their surroundings, and to promote communication skills that are important for both dance creation and everyday life. We analyzed its educational effects using four types of data: students' response papers, evaluations of students' dance performances, questionnaires administered at the beginning and end of the course, and follow-up interviews conducted three to five months after the course. The results showed that the students enjoyed creative dance and became aware of their own bodies and feelings and those of other students. The students were able to appreciate and consider academic and everyday themes and communication from different perspectives. In conclusion, our creative dance course has the potential to foster students' awareness and communication skills and to improve their daily lives and academic pursuits. © 2017 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
