Dance4Life Moldova Event

Svetlana Toderas, Y-PEER Moldova Focal Point

Two groups of Dance4Life one from Moldova and the other from Russia got together between 2nd and 11th of March in St. Petersburg in order to participate in the training for team building. Within the framework of this meeting the National Stadium of St. Petersburg hosted on 8th of March “The world’s leading dance event”. There were more than 14,000 young people present! But the most important event for both D4L groups was that they danced the Dance4Life track for all those young people. That was their first big presentation on a big scene that represented a big step for the 2008 Dance4Life International Event.

For me personally being there was a great sensation. I believe that the only effective way in fighting HIV/AIDS is through involving young people. Youth are the solution and have a strong voice that needs to be heard! Being young I’ll continue to do my best in this international project. My opinion is that: Dance4Life is a healthy, positive and expressive way to connect young people's hearts, I’ve fallen in love with Dance4Life, expect from me the best, I am properly skilled and I feel no fear!

The other thing that made me very happy in St. Petersburg was the opportunity to meet again with Katea Kisova, Y-PEER Russia FP (we were together at the Advanced TOT in Cairo).

I really appreciate DJ Tiesto, Dance4Life Ambassador words:
"The way Dance4Life engages young people around the world to do something about the HIV/AIDS problem is very powerful. They offer young people an attractive way to do something themselves, and reward them with a spectacular event. The combination of serious content and entertainment assures that Dance4Life gets young people on the move."

As for me: Dance4Life Moldova is the power of youth and the energy of dance!
