As someone on my first Movement Exchange, I didn’t know any other volunteers who would be on the trip and as with anything, I wasn’t quite sure what I was getting myself into. Yet upon the first meetings and greetings at the airport, I felt welcome. There is something intrinsic to dancers that makes introductions somewhat easier than with other strangers. There is a common vocabulary and universal experiences and basic passion for movement that don’t need to be stated or explained as might be the case with non-dancers.

In this Flash Mob U.S. group included members of Movement Dance Exchange and students of the Danilo Perez Foundation."
