Dance for Peace 2007's Interests
|
| General | In 2006 two young women went separately to Lima, Peru and Cape Town, South Africa to teach urban dance workshops. What they didn’t expect to see was the overwhelming passion their students had for urban dance culture and the various dance styles associated with it. Many students in these countries have the passion for dance but lack the resources to pursue their dreams of a career in dance.
These students believe that urban dance is an outlet to evoke social change and make their voices heard in their communities. Dance is an intrinsic part of their everyday existence.
Kumari Singh (South Africa, March 2006) and Ephrat Asherie (Peru, March 2006) were deeply inspired by the unwavering enthusiasm of the dancers despite the callous social, political and economic hardships they suffered daily. In the fall of 2006 Kumari & Ephrat began the Dance for Peace movement.
Dance for Peace is passionate about raising the awareness of the uplifting effects of urban dance for the youth in our community and across the globe.
Dance for Peace serves as an important cross-section of the arts community, giving recognition to rich and exciting dance forms that are a part of an international artistic movement.
