International Dance Day is celebrated annually on April 29th to celebrate dance as an art form and to promote its importance in cultural, political, and social contexts. The day was created by the International Dance Council in 1982 to coincide with the birthday of Jean-Georges Noverre, a French dancer and choreographer who is considered the founder of modern ballet.
So on International Dance Day, let's celebrate the beauty and power of dance, and recognize the important role it plays in our society.
