Международный День Танца

International Dance Day was introduced in 1982 by the International Dance Committee of the International Theatre Institute, a UNESCO partner NGO, and is celebrated on April 29 every year. The day was suggested by the International Dance Committee to commemorate the birthday of Jean –George Noverre (1727-1810), the creator of modern ballet. Every year, an outstanding choreographer or dance 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 International Dance Committee of ITI, which collaborates with World Dance Alliance, a Cooperating Member of ITI. The goal is to celebrate Dance, to revel in the universality of this art form, to cross all political, cultural and ethnic barriers and bring people together through the common language of Dance.
