 Earthdance,
the Global Dance Festival for Peace has grown to become the world's
largest simultaneous music and dance event. Founded in 1996, with
22 cities and 18 countries participating, Earthdance has grown
to over 300 locations in 60 countries participating in 2007, with
locations ranging from the club-lands of New York to the rainforests
of Brazil. Every year, in alignment with the International Day
of Peace, over 200,000 people unite in dance with hundreds of
thousands more joining online in support of global peace and humanitarian
aims.  The
defining moment of each Earthdance event is a synchronized link-up,
(4pm Pacifc Standard Time) when every event around the world plays a
specially produced song called "The Prayer for Peace" at exactly
the same time.Earthdance
has been described by the music industry as the "Dance Aid"
for the new millennium. The aim of the event is to bring together
global communities to create a synchronized global festival and
dance event to help fund humanitarian causes and develop an environment
of peace throughout the global community. To find out how to get
