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.
We are building:
- A Wikipedia-style knowledge base — to preserve the dances that heal, liberate, and transform.
- Global forums — to cultivate peer support, shared stories, and cross-cultural connection.
- An events platform — to discover, share, and celebrate gatherings where movement brings us together.
- Open science tools — to prove what dancers already know: that movement heals, connects, and reveals.
- A mobile/web app — to guide anyone, anywhere, into mindful movement, with no gatekeepers.
This is not a brand.
It’s not a trend.
It is a movement of movements.
We are creating a world where:
- 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.
This manifesto is supported by a clear set of ethical and practical commitments. Read the full Core Values of DanceResource.
