As the peace process in the Middle East stalls, world champion ballroom dancer Pierre Dulaine asks us to believe for a moment that pairing Israeli and Palestinian youngsters together and teaching them the art of ballroom dancing may be the beginning of change. He takes his program, Dancing Classrooms, to his hometown of Jaffa and works tirelessly to inspire the reluctant students and challenge the deeply held beliefs of their parents. DANCING IN JAFFA is a testament to Dulaine’s belief that dancing has the power to build self-esteem and social awareness. (Ages 10+)
