dance4life inspires, mobilises and unites young people to push back HIV and AIDS 4life!

dance4life is a dynamic international initiative set up in Netherlands in 2004 to involve and empower young people all around the world to push back the spread of HIV and AIDS and the stigma and taboos that surround it. Young people are the future and they have the power to halt the spread of HIV and AIDS. By uniting all over the world and demanding change, they can make a difference.

dance4life provides them with this opportunity. It teaches them the important life skills they need to protect themselves but more than this, it inspires them to go out there and actually do something about it, to become actively involved by becoming an agent of change.

Young people are attracted through the use of dance, music, media, events, drumming, videos and taking responsibility for yourself and others. Using the language of young people involves them in dance4life.

"dance4life is a wonderful example of how the talent and strength of young people can energise our struggle"
- Kofi Annan, Secretary General of the United Nations
