About Global Water Dances
“Freshwater is the thread that connects everyone and everything on planet Earth. Rivers, streams, lakes and groundwater are all impacted by how we live on the land. We at The Nature Conservancy appreciate Global Water Dances creative and dynamic campaign to raise awareness of this critical resource. Your efforts are reminding people of the importance of managing our water resources and uniting communities to take action for safe, clean water.” – The Nature Conservancy
Mission Statement
We connect and support a global community of choreographers and dancers to inspire action and international collaboration for water issues through the universal language of dance.
History
History
Global Water Dances began as a collective idea of an international group of individuals, certified by the Laban/Bartenieff Institute of Movement Studies (LIMS), with decades of experience in producing Movement Choirs: events that use community dance to create social cohesion through non-verbal communication. They met attending a conference on Dance and the Environment in July 2008 at Schumacher College in England. The college, connected to the Dartington Estate, is rich in modern dance history and Laban’s life.
Participation in Global Water Dances is open to anyone who loves to move! Our first event took place in June 2011 where 57 locations came together for a 24 hour movement around the world. Now there are over 170 locations all over the world!

We are very grateful to Connie Publicover for allowing us to use her water droplet photographs as inspiration for our 2011 logo.

Site: Bela Farm, Hillsburgh, Ontario, Canada
Located in Hillsburgh, Ontario, Bela Farm is a place where farmers, environmentalists, artists, and educators develop creative responses to environmental crisis, sharing resources to form a unique, integrative farm.
Located in Hillsburgh, Ontario, Bela Farm is a place where farmers, environmentalists, artists, and educators develop creative responses to environmental crisis, sharing resources to form a unique, integrative farm.
Bela Farm overlooks the Nestlé Hillsburgh well which has been raising local and global concerns about the privatization of water and the practice of bottling water in plastic, disposable bottles. The tower can be seen in the distance of the farm photos below.
There is also a beautiful pond on the property which will also be featured in the site dance.
Bela Farm is situated on the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee, the Ojibway/Chipewa, and the Anishinabek, within the area of the "Dish With One Spoon" Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement between peoples in the Great Lakes region to peaceably share and care for the natural resources.
Bela Farm also sits on the border between the Credit River Watershed, which flows into Lake Ontario, and the Grand River Watershed, which flows into Lake Erie.
On top of the hill facing North East - Ritual Dance Site (Water tower for private well formerly owned by Nestle, now for water bottling)
North East facing the barn - archway connecting properties from farm to pond - Connecting Ritual & Site Dance
