Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this research is to certify influence of dance on creativity of two chosen groups of adolescents – dancers and nondancers. For this study we compiled a selection of adolescent dancers from a folklore ensemble and adolescent nondancers. They were tested with Brace test and Creativity movement test. By means of personality enquiry we received personal data from the tested groups. Using statistical methods we compared the obtained data. In the Brace Test the experimental group showed a higher score only on the substantive significance level, whereas in the test of physical creativity no statistically significant differences were found. Only the substantive significance has been proved. The results indicate that a suitable physical education form at a secondary school contributes to an all-round development in adolescents.
