   Dance for your health, live your heart passion

The project “Dance for your health, live your heart passion” aims to increase the participation in sport activities through dance as a practical solution for preventing health problems and raising the sport performance. The project is funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union. The project is organized in partnership by Kasta Morrely Star Sport Club Association from Romania, Youth Alliance Krusevo from Republic of North Macedonia and Development Youth & Sports Association from Turkey. The project addresses as main theme the valuing of the sports benefits for the public health and it promotes education in and through sport with special focus on skills development. The project supports through all its activities the education for health, for dance athletes and among the population in general. Promoting concrete information about the benefits of sport and especially dancing on mental and physical health would even bring more motivation among citizens.
“Dance for your health, live your heart passion” project included transnational activities in the forms of coordination meetings (one preparation and one final meeting)  and three Specialty sport circuits (Romania, Republic of North Macedonia and Turkey) and activities at the level of national countries including five health and safety training for dance athletes in each participating country, three open sessions per participating country and one demonstrative final event per each participating country.

As an added value on the Specialty Sport Circuit was the National Competition on modern dances in Skopje, North Macedonia.
