Waltzing Around: On International Dance Day, dance to the rhythm of the world
Posted by: 2016-05-02 02:49:22 ,By Raj Kumar
For all dancers and dance lovers around the globe, April 29 is marked on the calendar as a very special day. Though, for a dancer every day is full of dance, but today is especially so because it is celebrated the world over as ?International Dance Day?.
This day is dedicated to dance, dancers and dance enthusiasts. It was introduced by UNESCO partner and NGO Conseil International de la Danse (CID), France, in 1982. The fact that April 29 happens to be the birth anniversary of the world-famous French dancer and ballet master Jean-Georges Noverre, is purely coincidental, but such serendipity lends an added sheen to the day and its celebrations nevertheless.
So, why dedicate a day wholly to dance? Well, the idea was to organise events around dance day to make people more aware of dance as an art form.
