International Dance Day is celebrated on April 29 every year globally to inspire education and participation in dance.
The motive behind celebrating the day is to celebrate dance, reveal the popularity of this art form, across all ethnic, political, and cultural barriers, as well as bring individuals together through dance.
In 1982, the day was first started to be celebrated annually.
The Dance Committee of the International Theatre Institute (ITI), the key partner for UNESCO’s performing arts, started the day.
The aim is to make opinion leaders and governments increasingly aware of the significance of all forms of dance and support them. Above all this, the day has been formed for only enjoying dance and sharing the joy with others. The website of ITI lists the venue of their yearly party along with other promoted events all over the world.
One can explore some images as well as other information to know more about the International Dance Day at their website, and share them online using the hashtag #InternationalDanceDay. People can celebrate International Dance Day by taking a dance class. One might not be a big dancer; however, beginner classes are forgiving. Irrespective of the skill level, the day is to expand one’s horizons and try a dance style that has never been tried before.
There are numerous ways to celebrate the day and to know the reason behind celebrating the day. One can go to watch dance shows. Dance performances often show stunning costumes, remarkable sets, as well as bright colors. If it is not possible to see a show individually, one could visit the website of the International Theatre Institute for videos that feature different dance styles from all over the world. Children could start taking dance lessons at a young age. Those who enjoy dance and continue with it gain various benefits like higher confidence, improved physical fitness, stronger determination to endure, and better capability to listen and understand instructions. Lastly, invite friends as well as family to dance and celebrate the day with you and spread about the celebration photos and ideas on social media accounts on the day using #DanceDay and #WorldDanceDay on the posts.
