Global Arts Foundation Victoria Inc aims to weave cross-cultural awareness across multicultural Melbourne by organizing these programs that will showcase different cultural styles of dance on ‘World Dance Day’ in addition to conducting regular workshops throughout the year that will create awareness and dialogue withing the younger generation across the multicultural arts community.

We are a not for profit organisation, determined to provide a platform for the younger generations to showcase their artistic talents and break down the traditional boundaries increasing cross-cultural awareness. It is with the support of organisations like VMC (Victorian Multicultural Council) and Art of Vinyasa, GAFV are able to carry out these initiatives successfully. 

Dance, being a central part of every culture, constitutes the ideal means for bringing together people from different countries. The intent of Dance Mela is to provide the opportunity for the dance community to share their passion for dance and to increase the awareness of the importance of dance among the general public.
