2014 United We Dance
This fundraiser, organised entirely by volunteers has been a regular event throughout AGMC Inc.’s history. All proceeds will be donated back into the HIV/AIDS community. Some of the recipients in the past have been: Bent TV, JOY 94.9, Positive Attitude, the David Williams Fund, the Asia Pacific OUT Games, The Gay and Lesbian Rights Lobby and Pride March Victoria, Gay and Lesbian Archives and GALFA.
The volunteers come from members of various Melbourne GLBTIQ Multicultural groups under the auspices of the Australian Gay and Lesbian Multicultural Council (AGMC Inc.). United We Dance has several purposes. One is to demonstrate to the wider community that no matter what our ethnicity, we can socialize and party together in harmony. Two is to raise funds for our community. Three is obvious – to have a damn good party. In addition this year, United We Dance is the closing celebration for the Aids 2014 Conference held in Melbourne.
What makes this night different from all other dance parties is the range of multicultural content in the music and floorshows. This year we will have two DJ’s who will spin the hottest in Euro, Middle Eastern and Asian dance music. The floor shows range from dance, belly dancing, live music, drag kings and queens and everything in between.
