Created by Anna Halprin, this participatory dance is in the spirit of powerful traditional rituals that brought communities together for a vital purpose. This year we dance to declare our commitment to protect the lives of both people and the planet, and to encourage others to join us in taking action. The dance itself involves a simple run or walk, so people of varying ages and abilities can participate. In Anna Halprin’s words, “When enough people move together in a common pulse with a common purpose an amazing force takes over—a power that can renew, inspire, teach, create, and heal.”
