The purpose of this study is to investigate how students cultivate essential humanness -"self-acutualization"- by a learning of creative dance and to inspect that it is not "instrumental learning", but "personality change" which is said by Maslow. The subjects are the 43 university students majoring in pedagogy of primary education. Before and after the 12 creative dance classes, the subjects are required to write about the following questions. 1. About the experience of education which makes the most of individuality 2. What must teachers do in order to make the most of pupiles' individuality? 3. What is creativity? 4. Evaluate self creativity and write the reason 5. Finishing a learning, what did yor understand or obtain? (only after classes) 6. About the significance of creative dance (only after classes) Their descriptions about each question are classified and analized by the K-Jmethod. Before and after results were compared with Maslow's basic needs and their hierarchical arrangement. The results are summerized as follw. Before a learning of creative dance, most students have had education which is far from making the most of individuality; Maslow said "instrumental learning";. After taking 12 creative dance classes, such students improved in their various ability on creative dance, such as sensitivity, observation, thinking power, imagination, individuality, creativity and body movement. At the same time, they were able to be judged that they recognized the creativity as essential humanness. Consequently, a learning of crative dance is concerned in self-acutualization and growth and then it was inspected that a learning of creative dance can be "peresonality change" as Msalow said.
