World Dance Research Worksheet

This digital PDF download will have students pick and research 2 world dances. It is a quick, no prep, independent activity for your students. The worksheet will guide them to discover the origin, country, costume and more for each of their world dance.

I love this activity because it prompts students to dive in to a different cultures and can be expanded upon by asking student to then learn the world dance they research. This activity could easily be turned in to a poster as well!

The worksheet alone will take students one 50min class period to complete. Add in the pre & post activity to expand the activity to a 90min class period.

5 Minute Journal Prompt- What do you think of when you hear the term world dance? Have you yourself ever performed a world dance?
