Dance Day[1]

[edit]

Dance Day is also called International Dance Day or World Dance Day but Dance Day is most common - just like Mother’s Day. It is celebrated on the 29th of April every year since 1982 in all countries of the world. The International Dance Council CID,[2] being the official global organization for all forms of dance, promotes and monitors celebrations.

Everyone is free to celebrate it in his/her own way – it is not limited to dance professionals. Dance Day does not belong to any organization or person. The International Dance Council CID does not claim any rights, although it established it together with other organizations. All forms of dance are celebrated, though some businesses have attempted to create their own Days for particular forms of dance, thereby confusing the public. Dance Day is on the 29th of April for all countries of the world, this is its power – there can be no national Dance Day.

The principal aim of Dane Day[3] is attracting attention to the art of dance. It is celebrated by millions of dancers around the globe. On that day, dance companies, dance schools, organizations and individuals, professionals as well as amateurs, organize an activity addressing an audience different from their usual one. It is an opportunity to propagate the practice of dance and its appreciation by the public.

The 29th of April sometimes coincides with a national or religious holiday – in that case it is celebrated by an event held a few days before or after. It can be a performance, a class, a workshop, an exhibition, a lecture, preferably outdoors, open to the public, at an original location. There have been performances or dance classes in factories, supermarkets or prisons, on board ships, in underground shelters or archeological sites. Journalists and television crews are invited to cover them.
