Manifest
Gjenvinne menneskeheten gjennom dansens kraft

I en verden tynget av stress, ensomhet og frakobling – der teknologi ofte splitter og kultur blir kommersialisert – reiser vi oss.
Vi reiser oss ikke med motstand, men med rytme.
Ikke med støy, men med tilstedeværelse.
Ikke med rigide systemer, men med frigjort bevegelse.
Vi tror at dans er en fødselsrett, ikke en forestilling.
At enhver kropp – enhver form, enhver alder, enhver evne – er et kar for visdom.
Den bevegelsen er ikke underholdning; den er helbredende, den er læring, den er å huske hvem vi er.
DanceResource.org er en radikal handling for enhet.
A non-profit, open-source platform built by dancers, dreamers, scientists, and storytellers — not to dominate, but to connect.
To gather the scattered knowledge of conscious dance into one living, breathing ecosystem.
To celebrate the rhythm of every culture, the wisdom of every lineage, the story of every body.
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.
