A Kaleidoscope of Cultural Traditions! ❤️🤎

On Saturday night, the stage in Eben Holden was a kaleidoscope of dance, music, poetry, and fashion featuring cultural traditions new and old from around the globe. Our annual Kaleidoscope showcase is always one of the most-anticipated events of the spring semester and this year’s exuberant display of passion and talent was no exception. The lineup featured music and dance from Bollywood, Madagascar, Southeast Asia, Ireland, France, and more and the evening ended with everyone up on their feet, dancing to the massively popular South African dance hit "Jerusalema."

Kaleidoscope marks the end of World Languages Week, and it's the perfect way to punctuate a week of education, celebration, and cultural exchange. Thank you to all our student performers for sharing your artistic gifts, languages, and traditions with our community last week and all year round!
