Earthdance, the Global Dance and Music Festival for Peace celebrates 10 years of global unity through music and dance this year in over 48 participating countries all over the world.
This year's event will be on September 16th synchronising global efforts to 'give peace a dance'.
Particularly important for all those corners of the world where fighting and war keep people apart.

The objective is to create as many Earthdance events around the world as possible. From public stadium concerts to private living room gatherings, there are no conditions on how big or small an event has to be. The spirit of Earthdance is participation on whatever level possible.

In the spirit of "Think Global, Act Local," each local promoter must donate at least 50% of their profits to a local charity related to one of the following categories:

• The Welfare of Children & Urban Youth
• Indigenous Peoples
• International Relief and Development;
• Environmental Sustainability & Protection
• Organizations that help Promote Peace

Below are some of the participating countries for 2006:

Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, Columbia, Cyprus, Denmark, England, Finland, France, Ghana, Germany, Greece, Hungary, India, Israel, Italy, Mexico, Japan, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Namibia, Nepal, Netherlands, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Nigeria, Norway, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Russian Federation, Serbia, Slovakia, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, Tanzania, Turkey, Venezuela, USA.
