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! Now, popular dance instructor Christy Lane combines the benefits of a multicultural program with the excitement of dance in this set.

Providing authentic ethnic dances from 18 countries, this complete teaching resource consists of two volumes, each containing a DVD, a printed guide, and a CD. The DVDs show you how to teach the dances as they are taught by expert instructors. The guides complement the DVDs by offering dance directions, background information, and valuable teaching tips. And the music on the compact discs is derived from original, authentic compositions of the popular songs.

Featuring the songs heard on the DVDs, the CDs boast superior quality recordings, allowing you to hear and appreciate the traditional instruments. The DVDs feature presentations to help you learn the dances and teach them to others. Each dance is taught by a native of the country from which the dance originated or by an expert in that particular dance form. 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 Guides offer indispensable information for teaching the dances and linking physical education with other subjects, such as geography, language arts, and social studies. Help your students learn about, experience, and appreciate the uniqueness of other cultures.
