GET READY FOR
Dancing. Together.
2020 was a rough year, but now we're rising up to take our year back by doing the thing we love most. At Project1, you belong, you matter, and you have an irreplaceable mark to leave on this world. Now, we're leaving that mark together as we dance, collaborate, and unite over 16 countries in creative expression. Welcome to Project1.

UNITING THE WORLD THROUGH DANCE
how Project1 works:
sign up by March 20.
SIGN UPS ARE NOW CLOSED!
Team leaders must sign up on behalf of their team. The email you use to sign up is the one we'll send the zoom link to for the World Watch Party in May. Team leaders may also share the zoom link with their dance team members.
This maiden voyage of Project1 is invite-only, so we're not yet recruiting any participants from the public. But keep an eye out for Project2 and Project3 in the future when we'll be opening up slots to everyone!
We will follow up on email with instructions for next steps and your assigned team number. Please add project1@HeartGlobal.org to your contact list so nothing ends up in spam!
start dancing.
Download all the instructional materials below and begin practicing with your team.
THE SONG
The song is "Verge" by Owl City featuring Aloe Blacc. We chose this song because it's upbeat, energetic, and uplifting for those who are making a new start.
Check out the song below and use this when you practice with your team.
THE CHOREOGRAPHY
The opening and ending sections are choreographed by HEART Global. Everything in between is up to you! For that middle section, create your own choreography, choose your location, wear whatever you like! Express whatever you feel in the music, challenge yourself, and try out new ideas.
Find the full choreography breakdown and guide in this 10-video playlist
JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP
This page will be a guide and community resource on our journey together to the Global Watch Party. We'll share tips for planning team meetings, give advice on dance practice, and send out important messages from Heart Global.
This is a closed facebook group, but all team leaders and team members are invited to join!

Film behind-the-scenes, and film the final performance
Film the behind-the scenes (optional)
Film the real-life creative process of making your dance video. Everything from team brainstorm meetings and practice run throughs, to bloopers and just goofing around with your friends. We want to see your hard work, difficult moments, love, and energy! Please edit all behind-the-scenes footage into one video when you submit.
Film the final dance performance
You don't need any special equipments for shooting -- You can take beautiful videos on your smartphone! Get creative on your camera placement, composition, angles, and editing. Remember to share your smile and energy with everyone out there watching. We're all cheering you on! Make sure to add your team's self introduction in the beginning of the video!
Here's Heart Global's Erick Spider Paul with some tips on shooting a great video:
Examples
To give you a reference for shooting and editing, here are a few videos JMC and Heart Global have made in the past. Remember, you don't have to be perfect, you just have to rise to a challenge and have a blast doing it!
upload your video by April 15.
The deadline for your video submission is April 15 2021.
Please export the completed video with a 16:9 aspect ratio and a size of 1920x1080, or at least a 1280x720 resolution. We donʼt want you to be disappointed that your clip appears grainy at the World Watch Party because of a low resolution!
IMPORTANT: Naming your video file
Each team has an assigned number. Please refer to the list below and see what your team's assigned number is. Please title your video's filename with your team number and team name. It should follow the format of "1_TEAMNAME.mp4". Once you're ready, click below to upload your video(s) to our dropbox by clicking below.

All together from around the world, we'll watch as we dance together as one in a global mashup of dance, energy, and unity.
You only need 1 registration per watching device. For security reasons, you must register for the WWP even if you already registered for Project1 as a team.
