Dance4life is an initiative to raise awareness of HIV/AIDS.
History
[edit]The organization claims to have raised money for HIV prevention projects in the Global South. It has been estimated that by the Saturday before World AIDS Day 2014, the foundation will have created a total of one million agents4change. An agent4change is a young person who has participated in the dance4life "schools4life" and is involved in pushing back HIV and AIDS.[citation needed]
"What I like about it is that we raise money in the western world and create awareness in the countries that get hit the hardest like Africa and Asia. The whole concept behind it is to let the whole world dance, which is a very positive message."
As of May 2006, DJ Tiësto is the official worldwide ambassador for the dance4life foundation. He recorded a track with Maxi Jazz (of Faithless) of the same name. The song peaked for five weeks in the Dutch Singles Chart, peaking at number five in Belgium, six in Finland and also charting in the UK and Germany.
In 2009 supermodel Doutzen Kroes became an ambassador. She visited dance4life projects in Tanzania, The United States, The Netherlands and Thailand and raised money through auctions for dance4life.
