FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: February 15, 2008


On February 29th, faithful club goers who support District Ignition’s weekly party “Snatch” will have the chance to dance for a cause – and support HIV and AIDS efforts across the globe. With one of every twenty DC residents infected and HIV and AIDS in the national spotlight, this event is more necessary than ever. Doors will open at 9:30 pm and will be hosted in the vault of DC’s popular nightclub, Ultrabar. Funds raised will go directly to the Dance4Life pilot program in Washington, DC public schools and to Dance4Life International.

To support the Washington, DC launch of Dance4Life, leaders from the DC club scene will host a Support Dance4Life event on February 29th at Ultrabar. Dance 4 Life representative Carolina Blanco is “hoping that this event will open the eyes of many to not only the HIV/AIDS crisis in Washington, DC, but also across the world, and what an impact for change Dance4Life can have on the lives of all involved.” Donations from District Ignition (in collaboration with Panorama Productions) and attendees will go directly to the DC Schools program and Dance4Life International to involve youth in the fight against HIV and AIDS through education, dance, and discussion.

What is Dance4Life?
Dance4life is a dynamic international initiative which actively involves young people by providing youth a place where they can speak out against the stigma and taboos surrounding HIV and AIDS. By using all aspects of youth culture (their icons, their media, and their favorite music and dance) Dance4Life provides an energetic and engaging platform to address about these serious issues. The Schools Program works in four steps:
• A tour using music and dance to communicate the realities of HIV and AIDS
• Awareness and fund raising events organized by students to reach out to their community
• A Life Skills program to educate youth on HIV and AIDS and give them the skills needed to make healthy decisions
• The Big Event, which brings all youth together to celebrate and hear their voices echoed and amplified around the world.

In the coming years (2008 - 2014) Dance4Life will involve at least one million young people as “agents of change” in at least 25 countries and 50 cities all over the world. These “agents of change” will break silence, learn life skills, raise money for local community AIDS prevention projects, mobilize civil society and pressure their governments to keep their promises regarding the Millennium Development Goals.

Chad Bozzarelli on behalf of District Ignition states, “HIV/AIDS is a huge global concern and we intend to take steps to fight the disease here on our home front of Washington, DC. This will be the first of a series of benefit events we will host in 2008 to support Dance4Life. Our first lineup will feature Breakfast who is an internationally known DC favorite. He has just recently remixed “Into The Dark” by Ferry Corsten feat. Howard Jones so this will be a special performance. We anticipate an energetic response to this event as we unite dancers in the fight against HIV/AIDS.”

Dance4Life USA is a project of Students Partnership Worldwide USA, a global leader in empowering youth to be at the forefront of change and development. SPW operates in 11 countries, including 8 in Africa and Asia, giving young people the tools they need to make significant changes in their communities. SPW USA will launch Dance4Life in select DC public schools this year.
