The UnitedWeDance action-painting concept: a dancer with paint-dipped feet creating an artwork in a film studio 02 · Founder · Social Enterprise

UnitedWeDance began with a simple observation: movement leaves traces. Give a dancer paint instead of a stage and the performance stays behind as an artwork. Sanaz turned that observation into a concept: a camera films the artistic process, the choreography becomes a canvas, and each finished piece exists both as a film and as a physical work.

The concept became an engine for impact. Every artwork is created around a story from a community or NGO partner, and its sale supports the people connected to its creation. Traces of Bali carries the story of the children of House of Hope. At the IUCN World Conservation Congress 2025 in Abu Dhabi, UnitedWeDance was one of only eleven artists chosen worldwide to exhibit, and a Māori family performed as part of the work.

Each artwork carries an impact story, and its sale supports the people behind it.

Today UnitedWeDance operates as a social enterprise aligned to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, collaborating with NGOs, cultural institutions and conscious brands on commissions, performances and exhibitions.
