p.s. We will be adding more ethnic dances and new schedules upon request in the future. Stay tuned, please.
The goal of Dance Fever club: to promote unity and understanding different cultural backgrounds, traditional and values in diverse community in the US and Myanmar for the three themes below:
1. Stress Relief: Dance can be an effective way to cope with and release stress during a crisis. Moving to the rhythm of music while dancing can help individuals to relax and express their emotions in a healthy way.
2. Strong Connection: Individuals can value and understand more about different cultural backgrounds of a country across the globe, different traditions and most importantly they feel a sense of connection, belonging and solidarity among diverse ethnic groups in the face of a crisis. For example, in Myanmar, we have over 135 ethnic diverse groups and we all come together and stronger in fighting against the military regime for 3 years and different cultural backgrounds.
3. Self-Empowerment: Dancing can help individuals to feel strong and capable in the face of a crisis. It can be a great way to boost self-confidence and self-esteem.
Don't miss out on the chance to join our Burmese Dance club. Our Dance for Unity, organized by our Flowing River Foundation, will have you learn a basic dance poetry, Thingyan Yaim, Pagan dance, and the beauty of the Yipin dance. We are working to bring more ethnic dances to this floor. Thank you for staying tuned and email us for more information at contact@flowingriverfoundation.org.
