🏢 International Community Dance Association (ICDA): Connecting the World Through Dance

Grounded in the philosophy of Bogyeol Dance, the International Community Dance Association (ICDA) promotes humanism and tolerance through individual recovery, community connection, and a culture of love and peace.

We believe that "everyone can dance" and that the body holds an inherent intelligence capable of healing, reconciliation, and ecological awareness. ICDA works extensively across global networks to bridge cultural divides and foster community well-being through creative movement, public dance festivals, and professional facilitator training programs.
