"And everything, everything starts with a connection" @franco_odhiambo This number performed highlights the profound importance of connection in building a better world. It’s through connecting with the right people that dreams are brought to life. As human beings, we are inherently designed to support one another—learning, growing, and building communities together. When the right individuals come together, magic happens. Collaboration unlocks endless possibilities, breaking barriers to make even the loftiest dreams achievable. By finding ways to contribute, no matter how small, to creating a better world, we enable humanity to truly thrive. The partnerships we’ve forged are a testament to the power of connection. For instance @crossingthresholds introduced us to @mybroadwaydreams and from there, we’ve collaborated to achieve incredible milestones. This was a celebration of the transformative power of connection and the remarkable outcomes it fosters. #chezachezadancefoundation #BuildingStrongMindsThroughDance #powerofconnections </video> <video> ChezaCheza In India | Empowering young people from Kenya through power of Dance!
