This book was written for the teachers at all grade levels. The purpose of this book is to promote understanding and acceptance of diverse students. It is to be used to supplement the present curriculum in the area of multicultural dance.Dance, as an art form, has been an integral part of many cultural heritages. It is important to the socialization process in civilization. The study of dance can make a significant contribution to the development of human expression. Participating in dances of other cultures enables the student to experience feelings, sensations, and ideas associated with those cultures. Students can sense the contributions of the multiethnic and multicultural groups that make the American society.As our nation moves toward the recognition of a multiethnic cultural diversity, it becomes extremely pertinent to advocate a multicultural educational program.
