The International Dance Day, which takes place on April 29th, is an annual celebration of how dancing positively influences our lives. The way we communicate with music and express ourselves artistically has been captured by the human body's ability to move, groove, pop, and lock.
This day was established to encourage the world to recognize dance as a legitimate art form. Dancing allows us to express emotions in a way that our own words cannot. This event is dedicated to millions of people from all around the world who have dedicated their lives to this art of enchantment.
Both professionals and amateurs alike, Dancing is a sport that is enjoyed in all parts of the world. This day is all about celebrating the history of dance and recognizing its unique place in all cultures.
Challenge yourself by enrolling in a new dance you've always wanted to know. You can do this by yourself or with a group of friends. If it's your best macarena or ballroom waltz, post all dances on social media using the hashtag #InternationalDanceDay.
History
Jean-Georges Noverre's birthday was celebrated on International Dance Day on April 29th by the International Dance Committee of the International Theatre Institute. He is known as the modern ballet's creator. In 1982, the day was officially recognised.
Each year, a guest speaker is chosen to carry the International Dance Council's word around the world. In any way, shape or form, the speaker is associated with dancing in some manner, shape or form. Prioritizers have included names such as Sasha Waltz, William Forsythe, Maguy Marin, Robin Howard, and Yuri Grigorovitch.
