Ukubuyisa Ubuntu Ngamandla Omdanso

Ezweni elinokucindezeleka, isizungu, kanye nokungaxhumani — lapho ubuchwepheshe buvame ukuhlukanisa khona futhi isiko lithengiswa — siyavuka.

Asivuki ngokuzibamba, kodwa ngesigqi.

Hhayi ngomsindo, kodwa ngokuba khona.

Hhayi ngezinhlelo eziqinile, kodwa ngokunyakaza okukhululekile.

Sikholelwa ukuthi umdanso uyilungelo lokuzalwa, hhayi umbukiso.

Ukuthi wonke umzimba — yonke imilo, yonke iminyaka, wonke amakhono — uyisitsha sokuhlakanipha.

Leyo nhlangano ayiyona into yokuzijabulisa; iyaphilisa, iwukufunda, iwukukhumbula ukuthi singobani.

I-DanceResource.org iyisenzo sobunye esikhulu.

Ipulatifomu engenzi nzuzo, evulekile eyakhiwe ngabadansi, abaphuphi, ososayensi, kanye nabalandisi bezindaba — hhayi ukubusa, kodwa 'ukuxhumana.

Ukuqoqa ulwazi oluhlakazekile ngomdanso oqondayo endaweni eyodwa ephilayo nephefumulayo.

Ukugubha isigqi samasiko onke, ukuhlakanipha kwazo zonke izizukulwane, indaba yawo wonke umzimba.

Sakha:

• Isisekelo solwazi sesitayela se-Wikipedia — ukulondoloza imidanso ephilisayo, ekhululayo, neguqulayo.

• Amaforamu omhlaba wonke — ukuhlakulela ukwesekwa kontanga, izindaba ezabiwe, kanye nokuxhumana kwamasiko ahlukahlukene.
• Ipulatifomu yemicimbi — ukuthola, ukwabelana, nokugubha imibuthano lapho ukunyakaza kusihlanganisa khona.
• Amathuluzi esayensi avulekile — ukufakazela lokho abadansi asebekwazi kakade: ukuthi ukunyakaza kuyaphilisa, kuxhumanisa, futhi kwembula.
• Uhlelo lokusebenza lweselula/lwewebhu — ukuqondisa noma ubani, noma kuphi, ekunyakazeni okucabangayo, ngaphandle kwabalindi.

Lokhu akulona uphawu.

Akuyona into ethandwayo.

Kuwukunyakaza kwezinyathelo.

Sakha umhlaba lapho:

• Schools use dance to teach emotional intelligence.
• Therapists recommend guided movement as medicine.
• Elders pass on their ancestral rhythms.
• Teenagers dance through heartbreak instead of silence.
• Communities shake off trauma and reconnect, together.

And no one is left behind.

Our code is open.

Our knowledge is shared.

Our hearts are beating — with yours.

This is your invitation to reclaim your body,

remember your joy,

and rejoin humanity —

one step, one breath, one beat at a time.

Join us. Move with us. Help us change the world —

by simply remembering how to dance.
