Dancing in Jaffa 17/02/2016

Dancing In Jaffa © DIJ It's not a new film! It was released in 2014 and has been talked about ever since. We just watched it and found it outstanding. Here is the synopsis: Pierre Dulaine, a former world champion dancer turned dance teacher, is fulfilling a life-long dream when he takes his programme, Dancing Classrooms, back to his city of birth, Jaffa. For generations, Jaffa has been a city divided by two communities that continue to grow increasingly apart. Over a ten-week period, Pierre teaches Jewish and Palestinian Israeli children to dance and compete together. The film explores the complex stories of three children, all of whom are forced to confront issues of identity, segregation, and racial prejudice as they dance with their enemy. As Dulaine transforms their lives he confirms his own belief that dance can overcome hatred and provide for the first steps to be taken towards integration.

Pierre Dulaine's work with inner city kids in New York was made into a major motion picture: Take The Lead! Read about his programme The Dancing Classrooms!
