Palestinian dance instructor, Pierre Dulaine, brings Palestinian and Jewish youth together in his hometown of Jaffa for a dance competition and teaches them mutual respect along the way.
A program on how the power of the arts can help us to overcome our differences, personal biases and prejudices to live in harmony. Watch as Palestinian and Jewish youth learn to dance together and bring two communities together. The children of Jaffa have lived side by side for generations without engaging in any constructive or meaningful interaction. The beauty of ballroom dancing is it forces two people to move at one.
There will be a discussion and Q & A with our guest speaker Dr. John Woodward after the film. Then there will be a wine and cheese reception and ballroom dance instruction to add to the festivities.
FREE but donations gratefully accepted.
