"Dance4Life means a lot to me. It has become part of my life and has given me the energy and skill to continue to raise awareness not only in my community but also out side my community it has given me a platform to speak on behalf of the voiceless children that are affected by HIV, it is sad that not much is been done when it come to access to better treatment but dance4life has given me the hope and strength to go on raising awareness and campaign and that some day hope is coming for people living with HIV in the world and especially Africa. It is a long road but it will be silly if we decide to give up we might not know how close we are. Lets continue the journey.

"Being a member of the dance4life tour team was an exciting and inspiring experience. It opened my eyes about a lot of things surrounding the HIV pandemic, both here in the UK and on a worldwide scale. Most of all, my involvement with D4L confirmed my faith in the unifying power of music and dance, and reinforced my belief that young people can be a genuine force for change within the world today.

"Being part of the UK Dance4Life event was a fantastic opportunity - seeing young people dancing across the globe for HIV / AIDS was really something special and I was proud to have taken part. Nowadays, you just can't talk enough about the importance of safer sex - remember you've gotta strap it up before you slap it up." - Tim Westwood, Radio One DJ and D4L UK ambassador

BIG Event
 The last stage of our Dance4Life Schools Programme is the BIG Event. The event takes place every two years (2008) on the Saturday before World AIDS Day, and it is a reward for involvement in the programme. Events take place in every country that Dance4Life works in. It is a celebration of the successes of all young people involved in Dance4Life, a symbol of solidarity and a powerful statement made by young people.
Young people all over the world perform the Drill simultaneously,  creating a powerful message. On the off year (2007), the UK intends to hold regional events.
The BIG Event allows young people to join together to demonstrate the universal desire for change in the fight against HIV and AIDS, and also generates the attention of the government and the media.
