HA NOI (VNS)– Students from high schools and universities in Ha Noi are expected to take part in a Start Dancing, Stop AIDS contest, part of the Dance4Life project, launched by Rutgers WPF.

Rutgers WPF is a renowned centre of expertise on sexual and reproductive health and rights. Its activities are mainly carried out in the Netherlands, Africa and Asia.

Under the guidance of professional dancers and crew, such as Sacred Crew and dancer Ha Le, the students will prepare a dance to draw attention to AIDS prevention and discrimination against HIV-infected people.

Goodwill ambassador for the event this year, Le said he wanted to send the message: "Let's dance towards peace, unity, love and fun."

The final round will be held on November 24 at the capital's West Lake Water Park. Judges will focus on music, creation, style and the quality of the dancer's message.

Dance4Life was founded in 2003 and has become an international movement which inspires, mobilises and unites young people to curb HIV and AIDS. – VNS
