  For the lucky, we grew up in good health, with security and opportunities
ahead, but most importantly, we grew up with love. For the fortunate few, we were raised learning to love and respect our family, neighbors, teachers and fellow man. Unfortunately, this is not a universal truth.

Each day, children are brought into a world of poverty, a world of fear, a world of war, a world without hope, a world of hate. These children did not choose this life, but rather they were thrown into it, at mercy to their surroundings.

In a day where children live in constant fear of surviving to see dinner time, where children are torn away from their families to become child soldiers, where children bear witness to their mothers and fathers brutally slaughtered, where simple necessities like shelter, food and water are considered luxury, we ask ourselves: how can we bring about peace?

Dance has been used as a form of expression since humans walked this earth. From the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia and Summer to the 2007 subways in NYC, dance provides a way of expressing thoughts that simply can not be said.

Dance has the ability to speak to all regardless of age, gender, religion or culture. If we can harness this power to spread the message of peace, imagine the boarders
   
that can be crossed, walls that can fall, eyes that can be opened.

Children are our future. It is our responsibility to create a world for them that is better than ours today. Our intent in this website is to shed light on the plight of the children in today's world with the hopes of ending this suffering through dance.

Let’s spread peace through dance…

 
   


We dance for
laughter, we dance for
tears, we dance for madness, we dance
for
fears, we dance for hopes, we
dance for
screams, we are the dancers, we
create the
dreams
