Comparte el Movimiento is a dance contest that
offers young members of the community the opportunity to compete
and perform at Coca-Cola’s Calle Ocho stage for the chance to win
up to $3,000 for a cause of their choice
Hey South Florida! Do you love to dance? Is there a cause that
moves you? Here’s a chance to win big for your community or school.
Coca-Cola’s “Comparte el Movimiento” is a dance contest that
invites young people to dance to support a cause of their choice.
Coca-Cola will award up to $3,000 to the winning teams’ charity,
organization or school.
Throughout its more than 128-year history, Coca-Cola has played
a role in many important moments in the community. Through this
competition, Coca-Cola hopes to inspire South Florida’s youth to
move to a lively Latin beat and get active - both physically and in
their communities.
“This is much more than just a dance competition. This is a
chance for young people to dance for a cause that moves them and
create moments of happiness that bring people together, all while
helping the community,” said Lillian Rodriguez Lopez, vice
president, Sustainability and Stakeholder Relations, The Coca-Cola
Company. “Get up, grab your friends, get moving and #BailaConCoke!
Be a part of the movimiento.”
To enter, participants’ ages 14 through 19 enrolled in high
school or college at the time of entry are to submit a dance
routine to the official contest theme song, “Let Fun Take Control,”
by Latino duo NorthRock 360. Dance crews must include the three
signature dance moves and upload their submission to YouTube. Then,
the dance crew (or parent/legal guardian over the age of 18) may
use that link to officially enter the contest by Feb.15, 2015.
Visit www.comparteconcoke.com to download the song, learn the dance
moves, review the complete details and enter for a chance to
win.
Participants are encouraged to use the #BailaConCoke to spread
the word and share their cause as five finalists will be selected
and posted for public voting starting March 1.
The program will culminate on March 15. The three finalists with
the most public votes will have the opportunity to perform live on
the Coca-Cola stage during the much-anticipated Calle Ocho
Festival. A panel of judges will select a winner at the live event,
and the winning team will have the opportunity to direct $3,000 to
support a community cause of their choice. The first and second
runner-up will receive $1,000 and $500 for their cause.

Share the Stage
For those who are musically talented, there is another
opportunity to Share the Stage with Coca-Cola. Coca-Cola has been a
major sponsor of the Calle Ocho Festival for nearly 40 years.
Throughout its history, Coca-Cola has featured many world renowned
musicians and bands on its stage. This year, the Company wants to
give up-and-coming bands a chance to perform live on the Coca-Cola
Stage. Bands can register at the link below and submit a link of
their band performance by February 16. Four bands will be selected
to perform live on Sunday, March 15 at Calle Ocho. To learn more
