Dance for World Community

June 8

Free

Join the BLE dance troupe at Dance for World Community, a free, day-long, indoor/outdoor festival celebrating the power of dance to bring people together. Stay tuned for our exact performance time and location!

Created by José Mateo Ballet Theatre in 2008, Dance for World Community (DWC) is a partnership-based initiative that amplifies the connective power of dance to unify and strengthen our local communities.

Among its many roles in the community, it is one of the area’s largest presenters of local dance performance offering a free public day-long festival that celebrates the power of dance to bring people together. The festival features performances and classes in diverse styles of dance from more than 60 local dance companies, as well as over 20 social justice organizations and non-profits designed to raise awareness about dance and its potential to address social and environmental issues.

DWC builds community through its partnerships with over 100 local performance dance groups and organizations, as well as city government, local businesses, educational institutions, cultural agencies and social service non-profits. This dynamic event provides inclusive participation across all sectors, populations and communities in the Greater Boston area.

Beyond its role as presenter, DWC is committed to demonstrating a level of social responsibility and community building by connecting artists with partners in the fields of social and environmental advocacy. To advance this vision, the Festival, along with the following initiatives, further advance DWC’s mission to effect broader social change.
