This was my first time being a part of Dance for Kindness. It was so much fun. I was a little nervous being a Group Leader because I am only 10 years old. The videos on the crew platform were really helpful. I loved organizing the actual dance and freeze mob. I really enjoyed learning the dance and helping others learn it too. I learned that it is ok to ask for help and build a team to help get the tasks done on time and to have extra hands on the day of the actual event. It was really amazing to see how great the Dance for Kindness looks when everyone does it together.
My event just took place and my heart is SO full! The dancers had a blast. Our community rallied around to support and participate in the event. It was truly a group effort. This experience brought us all together for a common purpose and knowing that we were linked to 50+ other countries all doing the same, creates a global bond that we wouldn’t have experienced without this DFK opportunity. We all felt it. With much gratitude.
