Multicultural Dance

Dance Around the World at Beethoven! Our Spectacular Multicultural Celebration!

Get ready for a vibrant global journey! An annual highlight in the final weeks of school, Beethoven's Multicultural Dance is a spectacular celebration that brings cultures from around the world to our community! Coordinated with passion by our wonderful PS Arts music teacher, Ms. Daval, this event is a feast for the senses!

Every grade level dives deep into learning not just a unique cultural dance, but also the fascinating stories and rich history behind it. Students discover the significant meaning and the time period that shaped each movement – it's a living history lesson expressed through rhythm!

The excitement builds throughout the event, culminating in a joyous, school-wide grand finale! Our graduating 5th graders have the honor of leading everyone in the iconic American favorite, the "Electric Slide"! The entire Beethoven community – students, staff, and parents – are enthusiastically welcomed onto the dance floor to slide together in unity!

While it's impossible to represent every single culture on Earth, the Multicultural Dance powerfully teaches our students about the beauty of global diversity, celebrates what makes each of us unique, and reinforces the vital importance of respecting one another's differences. It's truly a celebration of unity through movement and understanding!
