Multicultural Folk Dance Treasure Chest features 18 authentic ethnic dances from around the world in two volumes, each containing a DVD, a printed guide, and a music CD.
Multiculturalit's today's educational buzzword. And it's not a passing fad. Due to the increasing ethnic diversity in our society, promoting cultural awareness is more important today than ever before. What better way to learn about and appreciate cultural differences than through dances from around the world.
The featured folk dances represent an optimal mix of cultural diversity. They range from easy to moderately difficult and enable you to meet the multicultural awareness. In the Multicultural Folk Dance DVDs, each dance is taught by a native of the country from which the dance originated or by an expert in that particular dance from. Wearing traditional costumes, these instructors show you step-by-step how to perform the dances. Then, a group of dancers demonstrates each dance in its entirety.
The Multicultural Folk Dance guides offer indispensable information for teaching the dances and linking physical education with other subjects, such as geography, languages arts, and social studies. Here are some of the things you will learn for each dance:
- The name of the dance and a guide to pronunciation
- The country or region of its origin

- The traditional costume of the dancers
