We are a dance company sarAika movement collective, and a DEI(*) consultant, LIVABALL. As advocators for those who are queer, BIPOC, from low-income families, immigrants, artists, and women, it is vital for us to support them during pride month by joining the march with our professional talents!
(*)DEI: Diversity, Equity, Inclusion
We’ve performed in the NYC Pride March since 2022!
In 2024, 35 dancers, 14 musicians, 1 drag performer, and 4 walkers joined the PRIDE MARCH with us!
We contacted with musicians, dancers, drag performers, and any other artists who are willing to support our cause, having fun & bringing what each participant loves to do and is passionate about.

ABOUT US AND THIS PROJCT:
LIVABALL is a DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) consultant that aimes to make society more livable for everyone. It is funded by Aika Takeshima, who is also the co-founder of sarAika movement collective with Sara Pizzi. We strongly believe in the power of art and collaboration. Art raises individual self-confidence, leads to the understanding of diversity, and opens the doors to eliminate prejudice and discrimination. By showcasing “many differences all together doing great things with a lot of fun,” we can effectively contribute to society and help those who struggle because of differences and discrimination. Therefore, LIVABALL is volunteering to join the NYC PRIDE PARADE with sarAika movement collective, which involves professional dancers and musicians of various disciplines. Our cause is open and inclusive. We are a group of artists who want to contribute to society through the power of art.
