Integrating Chinese Classical Dance into Multicultural Education: An Administrative Framework for Inclusivity

Abstract

This research explores the integration of Chinese classical dance within multicultural education, emphasizing its impact on cultural representation, curriculum innovation, and student engagement. Addressing the lack of cultural diversity in educational curricula, the study highlights how Chinese classical dance provides a comprehensive cultural experience, enhancing students' understanding of China's rich heritage. The research underscores the role of administrative support in promoting a multicultural learning environment, demonstrating the positive outcomes of Chinese classical dance on cultural awareness, bias reduction, and inclusivity. Additionally, it examines the dance's function as a cultural mediator, fostering communication and cooperation among students from diverse backgrounds. The study also discusses the necessity of cultural competence in a global society, illustrating how exposure to Chinese classical dance bridges the gap between academic understanding and real-world application of intercultural concepts. The findings advocate for an administrative framework that supports the integration of Chinese classical dance to foster inclusivity and cultural comprehension in educational institutions.
