Final “The Dance” video launched

A still from “The Dance” video produced by Humans in Geelong.

HUMANS in Geelong has completed and released its “The Dance” music video community project.

The group started “The Dance” to showcase beautiful region, creative individuals and community groups who are making a difference.

The final video features 60 clips matched by volunteer videographer Hadeel Hani.

Humans in Geelong held a contest to find an upbeat, original song to be the video’s soundtrack after their original choice of I’ll Make You Happy by the Divinyls proved impossible to get, and Andrea Robertson won with her tune Dance the Blues Away from the 2019 album Live at New Hall.

Humans in Geelong has thanked all the participants in “The Dance” (a full list in order of appearance is on their website), which include:

  • City of Greater Geelong councillor and Geelong Racing Club president Peter Murrihy dancing on the Geelong Racecourse track, representing The Man Walk
  • Peace of Mind Foundation Women’s Retreat dancing the Nutbush at The Barrabool Maze
  • The Orange Sky Laundry van, which washes the clothes of the homeless
  • Extinction Rebellion and Red Rebels ‘DiscObedience’ outside Geelong’s City Hall
  • The 12 Deakin medical students in “Crossin the Bor” who rode bikes across the Nullarbor in 16 days to raise funds for The Black Dog Institute and raise awareness of mental health issues
  • Steve Beatty of We All Rotate dancing with women in their traditional dress in Nepal, and
  • A friend in Dublin dancing with a leprechaun.

“The Dance” was launched in front of a sold-out crowd at the Geelong Library and Heritage Centre in late March as part of Geelong Design Week 2021.

Humans in Geelong are a team of volunteers who tell the positive stories of inspiring locals who are making a difference. The group aims to inspire, connect and strengthen community.
