Seattle Arts and Urban Planning Interactive

Seattle, WA, USA. 

To celebrate dance anywhere® 2014, employees at Seattle Arts and Urban Planning organized an open dance improvisation at Golden Gardens Beach in Ballard, Seattle. The dancers performed in the sand and grassy areas on an unusually sunny Washington day. Seattle Arts & Urban Planning Interactive was excited to participate in dance anywhere® because they perceive that “dissolving the barrier between performance art and practice art is important to free our society’s fear of movement and connection”.

Peter Cheng

San Francisco, CA, USA.

Dressed in a suit and tie, Peter Cheng took a break from his busy workday in the financial district to dance anywhere®. Cheng says that he decided to participate because dance is a huge part of his life but not many people know it, since he works full time. “I love that worldwide, people celebrate movement in any way, shape or form for dance anywhere®. It’s such a beautiful way to come together.”
