International Dance Day: All you need to know about this day

INTERNATIONAL DANCE DAY:

International dance day is celebrated to encourage participation and educate people across the world about different dance forms.

Dance means different things to different people. Some find it a way of expression and others see it as a therapy and exercise to stay mentally and physically fit.

Dance is a creative form of art that helps in channelizing internal energy in a resourceful manner. Earlier, dance was a primal approach to expression and communication through gestures, turning into overall performance artwork that moved the soul and stimulate the audience. It is one of the best medium to narrate a story, convey feelings and emotions and connect with others.

SIGNIFICANCE:

The international dance day was formed by the ITI dance committee, who chose April 29 as the day to honor the birthday of Jean Georges Noverre, the pioneer of modern ballet.

The dance committee of the international theater institute ITI, UNESCO’s major partner for the performing arts, established international dance day.
