“Having been involved with the U.Dance National Festival for many years, I have seen the inspiration it gives young dancers from across the country to meet others who as passionate as them about dance.
We have to find a way for young people to share with others their passion to achieve great things. Now more than ever, we must make it possible through the help of technology to enable you to create and learn more about the thing you love. Join us!“
