International Dance Day was introduced in 1982 by the International Dance Committee of the International Theatre Institute (ITI), a UNESCO partner, and is celebrated on April 29th every year. The date was suggested by the International Dance Committee of ITI to commemorate the birthday of Jean-George Noverre (1727-1810), the creator of modern Ballet.
Every year, an outstanding choreographer or dancer is invited to deliver a message which is circulated throughout the world. The personality is selected by the founding entity of the International Dance Day.
The goal of this date is to celebrate Dance, to reveal the universality of this art form, to cross all political, cultural and ethnic barriers and bring people together through the common language of Dance.
The message author of the 30th anniversary of International Dance Day is the Flemish Moroccan choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, under the motto “Celebrate the never-ending choreography of life”.
So let’s stand up and try some moves today! Meanwhile here goes an inspirational video:
And as I am a flasmob lover, the following video shows one of my favourites ever!
