Our Story
Jana, Ibrahim, Zena, Myriam, Valerie, Timo & Max.
We are a group of dancers, writers, and artists who came together to create a Dance Mag because we believe that dance is a vital source of creativity, empowerment, togetherness and freedom.
With your support, we will launch our first issue that includes contributors from 16 countries. From Italy to Ghana, Iceland to Pakistan, Los Angeles to Beirut, the stories are pulsing with life.
Your story is welcome in a Dance Mag too. Because...

Our Story is Your Story Too!
Because everyone is born a dancer.
Because your body deserves a voice.
Because our bodies have great powers to transform pain into ecstasy.
Because dance is not just a series of steps.
Because all motion could be seen as a way of dancing, if you choose to believe, as we like to believe.
What is a Dance Mag?
a Dance Mag looks at the world through the lens of dance, to present an alternative view of a world that is in constant motion. Because awareness of motion — of our bodies, of ideas, of the flow and unfolding of nature — help us better understand ourselves and the world we live in.
Each issue of the publication is inspired by a dance flow and explores a universe of imaginaries, histories, rituals, mythologies, and narratives related to and inspired by that flow.
a Dance Mag will publish three issues per year.
Our first issue explores the theme Transcendence. It is now on its way to print and it will be distributed in bookshops, libraries, and cultural centers around the world.

Issue 1 blossomed into the most beautiful creation, and we need your push to launch!
We chose to publish in print because we believe in the power of this medium as a transmitter of timeless narratives. We will print with mindfulness and respect to nature.
And while our hearts are in print, our sights are on other channels too – web, films, and events.

Be part of this movement!
Our bodies need to move. Motion is powerful. It activates, transforms, liberates, restores, and heals.
Change happens when we start listening to our body, talking to it, caring for it, paying attention to its silent twitches and little wants, trusting that it is a universe of immense possibilities, and giving it a chance to become something exceptionally great.
a Dance Mag gives us the time and space to discover our body and become comfortable in it.
Join a Dance Mag. Be part of the change.

MAKE A MOVE
Every move is a good move!
Every word counts, every dollar makes a difference, and every well-wish, too. Small gestures add up. It could be a tweet or a like, a share, a 5 or 50$, an email you send or an event you host; what matters is that every move gets us closer to the goal.
Be part of the change! Come join us, and let’s dance.
