A Celebration of Diversity is written for the K-12 teacher. The information include in this text will fully equip the classroom teacher or teacher candidate with the material and techniques they will need to run a successful dance program based on Traditional/Recreation dance. The term "Traditional" signifies that the dances were done as part of a culture in a particular time or place. The term "Recreational" means that the dances were done by a group of people for social purposes.

The text will include information on the four basic needs for a dance class, space, sound, material and presentation techniques. The thirty-eight dances notated will each have background information, a full description of the dance and a "Teaching Strategies" page that will give hints on how to avoid pitfalls or extend the lesson beyond the dance itself.
