Anyone who loves to move, groove or take a stand against domestic violence is invited to join rehearsals for the annual One Billion Rising.
Every year a dedicated group of more than 100 dancers practise a choreographed dance to perform for residents with this year’s performance to be held on Friday 17 February.
One Billion Rising was started in 2012, and is a global movement to end rape and sexual violence against women.
The “billion” refers to the United Nation statistic that one in three women will be raped or beaten in her lifetime, or about one billion.
Rehearsals are about to get underway, and anyone who can move at all is welcome to take part and join the global movement designed to stop violence against women.
Rehearsals will be held at the Noosa Leisure Centre from Thursday 9 February from 7.15-9pm and then again on Saturday 11 February from 10.15-11.30am, Monday 13 February from 1-3pm and Thursday 16 February from 7.15-9pm. Anyone is welcome to attend, you just need to head along to the rehearsal.
For those who would love to support the dances and watch the performance, only the date has been released so far with a time and venue to be released very soon. You can keep up to date with the One Billion Rising dancers through their Facebook page; Unofficial: One Billion Rising Noosa 2016.
