April 29 is International Dance
Day. It was introduced in 1982 by the International Dance Council
(Conseil International de la Danse). The main purpose of Dance Day
events is to attract the attention of the wider public to the art of
dance. Emphasis should be given to addressing a new public, people
who do not follow dance events during the course of the year. Every
year, the president of the CID sends the official message for Dance
Day which circulates in every country of the world.
US National Dance Day was created by Nigel Lythgoe and takes place
in the United States on the last Saturday in July. It was founded
and officially recognized in 2010 when American congresswoman
Eleanor Holmes Norton introduced a National Dance Day resolution to
promote dance education and physical fitness.
