What is Dance for Kindness?
Every year, Life Vest Inside kicks off World Kindness Week uniting over 50 countries in our flagship celebration. Dance for Kindness is a WorldWide Flashmob during which groups from all across the globe unite under the banner of kindness. We join together to perform to the same song, same dance, all happening on the same day.
The purpose of Dance for Kindness is to look beyond ourselves – beyond the boundaries of our country, beyond our culture, our race, our religion and realize that we are citizens of the world and that kindness is the common thread that unites us all.

Keep the Kindness Going
Each year, Life Vest Inside organizes Dance for Kindness – a worldwide Kindness FlashMob that takes place in cities and countries across the globe who join together to dance to celebrate World Kindness Day. This incredible event provides schools with an opportunity to have their student body be part of something much bigger than themselves and recognize that while as a world we all may be different – we have reason to celebrate those differences and unite under the banner of kindness.
