Traditional ethnic dance programs are great learning opportunities for primary and secondary school students. Ethnic dance programs help generate awareness that we all come from different backgrounds with different customs and traditions and that there is richness in those differences. Dance activities provide physical activity that promotes good health and fights obesity.

These videos are the outcomes of a five day program at the Spring Hill Middle School in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin, where students learned ethnic dances from various countries during their regular physical education and social studies classes, then performed these dances at the school's assembly and International Festival.

Bring a 1-day experience, a 1-week program or an after-school program to your school - contact Paul Collins - (773)-463-2288 - info@ethnicdance.net
