Music and Videos for the Global Water Dances Event

Choose a location near a body of water where you would like to perform you Water Dance! Our plan is to perform outdoors and in group! These events can be live-streamed. More details about live-streaming are coming up later. You can include the Sections I, II, III, IV. You choose the time of your performance, but we recommend 3:00 PM your local time. We recommend to do the following four sections to offer a full experience. But you can also choose to do only one section, or a mix of some of them:

• Section I. Ritual: An opening, specific to each site.
• Section II. Local Dance: It is open to the choreographer’s creativity. You can use locally-based music, and use a local water issue as a theme for your dance.
• Section III. Global Dance: Simultaneous choreography done by all the performers worldwide to the same piece of music, connecting participants and audience globally. For 2025, we will have a new music and dance score. You can review our previous documents and dance for your reference: Download music | Read the Written Score | Video group Version: Group Version | Video Solo Version: Front View | Back View
• Section IV. Participatory Dance: Audience participation in a very simple movement sequence. Some sites will teach the moves right during the event, while at other sites the audience will have learned prior to performance. Video | Music (optional, you can use any music, or no music!)

Please record your dance and send us the edited film of your performance by August 1st 2025 in order to be included in our compilation of performances!
