For the last 12 years, Earthdance has united thousands of people around the world annually at events sharing the universal language of music and dance.  Now, Earthdance will no longer only be an annual event taking place in September each year in association with the International Day of Peace (21st of Sept), but with the advent of the Earthdance Network  www.earthdancenetwork.com we will be bringing our community together year round with monthly and even daily peace meditations, and many ways to share, communicate and interact! Also, the Network will offer Earthdance TV programming for and from the Earthdance community. Please join the network and see what it has to offer in terms of news, feature stories, event listings, discussions, blogs, shared photos, videos and music and a socially responsible marketplace. We even have Live Chat and new features, such as multilingual translation coming. We look forward to your participation and ideas on improving and building EDNet!

Every year, in alignment with the International Day of Peace, over 200,000 people unite in dance with hundreds of thousands more joining online in support of global peace, sustainable culture and humanitarian aims. The defining moment of each Earthdance event is a synchronized link-up, when every event around the world plays "The Prayer for Peace" track at exactly the same time. This year Earthdance will happen on 26 September and the theme will be "Blessing the Children" http://www.earthdance.org   http://www.earthdance.org.za
