Beauty of Jasmine - Resource Collection
Beauty of Jasmine. The performances in this collection were filmed at the Beauty of Jasmine Chinese Music and Dance Concert at the University of Kentucky's Singletary Center for the Arts in March of 2012. The program was presented by the Chinese Music, Dance, and Arts Program (CMDAP), led by director Hong Shao. CMDAP is an educational performing and visual arts program that promotes the understanding and appreciation of Chinese culture.
The videos can be used for teaching and integrating a variety of content at different grade levels. Primary teachers can use the videos to provide cultural context for stories in their reading programs. Chinese language teachers can use them to teach Chinese culture and as a springboard for enlivening language instruction. Arts and humanities teachers can use them to teach the elements of music and dance as well as the humanities and purposes of the art forms.
