Dancing his way to freedom. The inspiring story of Ahmad Joudeh, a stateless refugee from Syria, whose passion for dance emerged at a young age. Despite his father's disapproval and the dangers of war, Ahmad persevered, even tattooing "Dance or Die" on his neck as a testament to his determination. His journey captured international attention, leading to opportunities in the Netherlands. As a UNHCR and Netherlands LGBTQI+ Ambassador, he wishes to return to Syria to teach dance, confronting trauma through art, all while facing significant risk in a hostile environment.
