"While I dance I cannot judge, I cannot hate, I cannot separate myself from life. I can only be joyful and whole. This is why I dance." - Hans Bos
Dance – it’s a creative outlet; a form of expression; it
benefits the nervous system, the skeletal system, the circulatory system, and
the muscular system; it can be used to educate or rehabilitate; and it’s a form
of therapy. What if, for one moment in time, everyone in the world stopped what
they were doing to celebrate everything that dance is and simply danced?
Ten years
ago Beth Fein decided to try to accomplish just that and created dance anywhere®. She was searching for a
way to make dance accessible to everyone, inspire creativity, and change people’s
perspectives about art.
This
year’s celebration of dance will take place on Friday, March 28, 2014, at noon
in California, which is 3:00 PM in New York City. People interested in
participating can check out the dance anywhere® website to determine what time that would be in their
locations. There is nothing formal about this venture. It does not require
fancy choreography or professional dancers. It simply requires that some people
gather and celebrate everything that dance has to offer by simply moving for a
short period of time.
For
more information or to enroll as a participating group, visit the website (www.danceanywhere.org) , watch the video from last
year’s event, help spread the word, and join in the dance on March 28.
