13 University of Utah students and one U professor all traveled to Panama for the sake of dance, through the Movement Exchange this past Spring Break.
An organization dedicated to dance and service in underserved communities, Movement Exchange has locations around the world. Founder Anna Pasternak began dreaming of dancers making a difference at age 25. In 2010 she launched a global community of like minded dancers passionate about social justice and service.
Movement Exchange has three kinds of programs. The first is a University Chapter program that commits to year-round service work and community service. The second is an international dance exchange where students travel to Panama for eight days and exchange styles.
