This study aims to develop and implement an educational program to help elementary school students increase their mimetic expression skills by integrating storytelling into Hwataogeumhui, a movement set developed in China. Based on applied research, the results of the study are as follows. The program, structured around the processes of observation, mimicry, composition, and practice, consisted of five sessions targeting third-grade students, with each session lasting 40 minutes. Activities included observing animal movements through videos, performing Hwataogeumhui, creating their own movements as a group, presenting their work, and practicing exercise. The educational effects were qualitatively evaluated based on teachers’ reports on students’ progress and group presentations. The results revealed three educational effects: movement motivated through storytelling, complexity and mutual complementarity experienced by group activities, and learning abilities enhanced through the integration of other subjects into dance. Additionally, it is necessary to provide diverse and rich educational materials tailored to students’ learning levels. Furthermore, it is recommended that elementary school teachers have basic knowledge in dance education in order to implement gradual and continuous dance classes in elementary schools.
