GRAND UNVEILLING OF DANCE NIGERIA ... PLATEAU STATE EDITION: WORLD DANCE DAY 2013

"The emotions are stirred and take form in words. 
If words are not enough, we speak in sighs.
If sighs are not enough, we sing them.
If singing is not enough, then unconsciously
our hands dance them and our feet tap them."

Dance is a powerful expression.
It speaks to earth and heaven.
It speaks of our joy, our fear and our wishes.
Dance speaks of the intangible, yet reveals the state of mind of a person and
the temperaments and characters of a people... "

Dance for Development

Dansol High School. Lagos.

Dance is a form of expression - non-verbal communication - that has been drawn upon in various contexts around the world to raise awareness, shape attitudes, and inspire people to address development issues such as human rights, health, and HIV/AIDS. This Drum Beat issue highlights a few of the initiatives, thinking pieces, and resources that illustrate this approach to social change.
