International Dance Day is a global celebration of dance that was created by the main partner for the performing arts of UNESCO – the Dance Committee of the International Theatre Institute (ITI).
The day is celebrated annually on April 29, which happens to be the birth anniversary of Jean-Georges Noverre, the creator of modern ballet. The day promotes art and culture, raises awareness among the public regarding the “art of dance”. It also spreads awareness about several forms of dance and its value in its art form. The day is usually marked in many countries by gala events and stage performances by professional dance groups and experts. GD Goenka, Rohini Sector 9, celebrates this day with joy.
