Go Dance For Change

Go Dance for Change is an intercultural collaborative platform producing social spaces that use dance as a primary tool to connect people.
We connect people with communities and organisations and create opportunities for meaningful intercultural celebration and interaction through dance. Through a variety of immersive and engaging dance-related activities such as workshops, parades, performances and events, we facilitate the sharing of culture, as well as health promotion and integration.
The platform started in 2018 focusing on rhythms originating in Africa and from the African diaspora in the Americas, and has always placed a strong emphasis on wellbeing, community building, education and empowerment. Its aim is to highlight diverse cultures and people thus decolonising the narratives within the dance scene in Ireland and create a space for creatives to thrive.
Founder Karen Aguiar envisions Go Dance for Change ecologies as a space for individual growth as well as collective action.
