A Global Celebration
A Decade of Kindness
In 2012, Life Vest Inside initiated Dance For Kindness, a WorldWide event in celebration of World Kindness Day. Groups from across the globe join together to perform a Kindness FreezeMob/FlashMob to the same song, same dance, all happening on the same day.
Dance for Kindness has taken place in over 310 cities, spanning across 76 countries and 6 continents with over 90,000 GLOBAL participants. Our 10th Annual Dance for Kindness event on Sunday, November 13th 2022 marked a Decade of Kindness for Life Vest Inside, and we couldn’t be more proud!
The Magic of Dance for Kindness
There is Nothing Stronger than the Heart of a Volunteer
Our magic lies within our Group Leaders! Dance for Kindness is organized by enthusiastic volunteers, just like YOU, who register as Group Leaders to proudly represent their city and bring a culture of kindness to their neighborhood. Group Leaders receive a unique opportunity to experience our FREE leadership training program, providing them with the tools, skills and resources to bring this event to life and learn how to take any idea they have for positive change and bring it into fruition.
Many of our Group Leaders have gone on to start their own initiatives, programs, organizations and they share how our program helped them get there! Join us and learn more about becoming a Group Leader.

Dancing Improves Our Mental Health
Pretty awesome, right?! Dancing is a social activity that allows us to connect with others, share experiences and meet new people, which has a very positive effect on our mental health.

The Purpose of World Kindness Day
The purpose of World Kindness Day is to look beyond ourselves – beyond the boundaries of our country, beyond our culture, our race, our religion and realize that we are citizens of the world and that kindness is the common thread that unites us all.
