This week in our blog series, Pierre Dulaine, the founder of arts and social development program Dancing Classrooms, and well-known dancer and dance instructor, shares with us a preview of his current project, Dancing in Jaffa, and the simple actions that would improve our world.

AIF: Please tell us, in your own words, what you're known for within your field.

Being caring and compassionate, and a workaholic. And nowadays for I'm known for The Dulaine Method.

AIF: Please share a cause, statistic, or website you’d like everyone to be aware of.

Dancing Classrooms in Seattle.

And here's the trailer for my current project:

AIF: Inspired by our Values track at the Festival… What do you most value in life?

The truth.

AIF: What gets your heart pumping?

The smile on a child’s face when he or she discovers it can be done.

AIF: In your field, what single action would have the most impact on positive change?

Civility and more person-to-person and face-to-face contact.

AIF: How do you see the world 10 years from now?

Regrettably, more and more technologically wired and even more impersonal.

Please share links where people can see more of your work.
