Dance4Life

Dance4Life is a growing, worldwide project to fight back HIV and AIDS by dancing. In 2006 Dance4Life is actively working in thirteen countries: Egypt, Ethiopia, Germany, Indonesia, Ireland, Kenya, Nigeria, Russia, South Africa, Tanzania, United Kingdom, Vietnam and The Netherlands.

In all of these countries NCOs (National Concept Owners) are organising Dance4Life events for thousands of young people where they will be involved in the Dance4Life Schools Project, which is life skills driven, culminates in a huge dance event on the Saturday before World AIDS Day (November 25th).

The Dance Event creates incredible momentum. Imagine yourself, dancing along with others all over the planet, seeing each other through internet and satellite connections. All dressed in white. Dancing the same Drill. By being so many, you can demand the right to health and education and together fight HIV and AIDS.

By World AIDS Day 2012, at least one million people dancing all over the world, connected by satellite, making a powerful statement of hope. For the dancing youngsters this is the climax of their Schools Projects. A million involved young people dancing will make such a positive statement that we will attract media, politicians and the general public all over the world.

Whenever others see you dance, they too will become aware that there is no time for hesitation. 40.3 million people are living with HIV. A lot can be done by good education and by combating taboos. Young people are the group most at risk: every day, over 6,000 people between 15-24 years old are infected. They want the young to become leaders, instead of targets.

Start dancing, Stop AIDS, Dance4Life

You only take heat when you need to
You only take heat when you need to
And you need to

Come let me brief you
And let you see where greed leads to
And you need to

Inspire the love inside your people
Our people, equal
Food is for all, no steeples and no spires
No more hellfires and please no more gunfire

Dance 4 Life (4x)

Quench we meable them thirst
Put them first
And when the floodgates burst
Come inside and we’ll keep you strong

We protect the children of this new dawn
We’re properly skilled and we fear no storm
And what we’re building will persevere long
After the wicked them disappear

Justice, dues and rights gone clear
Me and the youth we have will start this here
Me and the youth we have will start this year

Dance 4 Life (12x)
