International Dance Day - April 29

 

International Dance Day was introduced in 1982 by the International Dance Council (CID, Conseil International de la Danse), a UNESCO partner NGO, and is celebrated yearly, on April 29

 The date is not linked to a particular person or a particular form of dance, although it's also the day when the French dancer and ballet master Jean Georges Noverre was born

The main purpose of Dance Day events is to attract the attention of the wider public to the art of dance

Every year, the president of the International Dance Council sends the official message for Dance Day which circulate in every country around the world.
