Gail Churape, DFK18 Group Leader
Being a Group Leader with Life Vest Inside and Dance For Kindness has empowered me to keep on task as a Kindness ambassador at my school and in my life. Dancing with a group of individuals promoting Kindness in our local community is wonderful but feeling the worldwide connection is truly POWERFUL ! The connections we are making around the world with other group leaders is bringing us all closer together under the umbrella of KINDNESS. WE can be the CHANGE!

Irina Iliescu, DFK18 Group Leader
Kindness is a very powerful feeling. When I first saw the Dance for Kindness videos from my country, Romania, I felt so hopeful and so empowered because I had rarely seen so many people doing the same thing all “together” on the same day to help someone. I really wanted to be part of it. And even though I was very nervous when it came to being a Group Leader for DFK2018 (being that it was my first time) I still gave it a try and trust me, it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life.! I strongly recommend doing DFK, hoping that this will only bring positive attitudes to all the participants and to the audience and to your own soul!

Lots of people dream about a better world, but only a few are committed to make the change happen. If you want to take action, create a better world and be part of an amazing experience register to be a group leader and host Dance for Kindness in your city!
Creating DFK2018 in Caracas was a great experience. My country is going through challenging conditions, and everything seems impossible… but with love and caring we were able to have a very successful event. We also did a service project to practice or kindness. The energy present after the dance was simply amazing!

Elisha John, DFK18 Group Leader
This is my first time as a Group Leader for DFK, the last event was led by my friend who eventually moved to Egypt. I must confess that I lost hope at some point trying to motivate people to be a part of Dance for Kindness. We were met with some hardship, but despite that I’m so excited that the event was successful. Orly, Erin and other Group Leaders were always there for me, they’ve shown me kindness beyond measure.
