Dance on the Move is a combination of Dance/Exercise,
Fun, and Ideas Competition. The aim of this project is to promote dance among
youths using dance as a medium of expression and communication. Dance on the
Move is a competition where dancers engage themselves in a creative dance
styles as they move from a start line to the final point.
We are organizing this event in
collaboration with Down Syndrome Foundation Nigeria who by all means needs the
support of every one to put a smile on the faces of this special ones in our
society who has gotten little or no attention from both the government and the
public as compared to other diseases such as Cancer, diabetes or heart disease.
Our aim therefore is to integrate them to the society with love and compassion
by giving them the opportunity to mingle with other youths.
Down Syndrome Foundation Nigeria is
a non-governmental, not-for-profit charity of Children with Down syndrome as
well as their parents, care givers and other interested stakeholders. Down
Syndrome Foundation Nigeria was founded on 4th December 2001 by a
parent of a child with Down syndrome. Societal attitude towards parents with
Down syndrome is totally negative in the Nigerian society.
It is against this
rather harrowing and ugly backdrop that the Down Syndrome Foundation Nigeria
evolved with the vowed commitment to bridge the gap between children/adults
with Down Syndrome and the rest of the society through a support system that
seeks ultimately to integrate them knowing that with the right environment and
care people with Down Syndrome can actualise their potentials and live a
fulfilled life.

How it Works
The concept is Marathon style of
dancing and moving at the same time, not running or jugging but moving and
dancing through a designated route to the final point where 20 finalists will
compete for the grand prize after eliminating dancers on the road who could not
meet up with the dance and move challenge.
Dance on the
Move is aiming to be an annual event, with its 1st Edition starting in
University of Lagos and eventually move
into the street on subsequent editions where we intend to cover a longer distance
with about 3,000 contestants dancing and moving on the street. But we are
starting this first edition with about 500 dancers.
However, the contestants
have to go through competitions at different stages as they dance and move to
the finish line before a winner is crowned the crowd along with a panel of
judges made up of selected dance celebrities firmly decides the winners
according to how well they perform;
Rewards/Prizes
Winners are
picked at different areas respectively after each contest, so we bring them all
together for the grand finale, then we crown our final winner.
