Global Citizens Making Global Differences Through Dance
World Dance for Humanity, a non for profit was founded by Dr. Janet Reineck in Santa Barbara, California  to provide funds and donations for those in need throughout the world. All monies go to  local charities and international organizations in Syria,  Rwanda and Ukraine. The group of dancers meet online and in person and travel together globally as part of their outreach. One such fundraiser is done before Halloween bringing together the local community and global community to dance as zombies to Michael Jackson's song "Thriller."This organization recently raised over $250,000 for Ukrainians needing school supplies, generators and clothing.
