The sample was collected by using purposive sampling. Based on the result, it was found that r_sum was 0.510, while r_table for respondent n = 17 with significant scale 0.05 was 0.482. This meant r_sum was bigger than r_table, and that meant there was correlation between the ability of creative thinking and dance performance. Significant test showed that zero hypotheses was rejected, it meant that there was significant correlation between creative thinking and dance performance.

It could be concluded that there was positive correlation between creative thinking and dance performance.
