Earthdance, The Global Dance Festival for Peace
 
Earthdance, the Global Dance Festival for Peace has grown to become the world's largest simultaneous music and dance event. Founded in 1997, with 22 cities and 18 countries participating, Earthdance has grown to over 222 locations in 50 countries participating in 2005, with locations ranging from the club-lands of New York to the rainforests of Brazil.  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 and humanitarian aims. 
 
The defining moment of each Earthdance event is a synchronized link-up,  (4pm Pacifc Standard Time) when every event around the world plays a specially produced song called "The Prayer for Peace" at exactly the same time.
 
Earthdance has been a leading participant in 11 Days of Global Unity since We, The World began it in September 2004.
