Dance Day 2010

On 29 April, as every year since 1982, Dance Day will be celebrated all over the world by the international community of dancers and dance enthusiasts. Organised by the International Dance Council, the main purpose of the day 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.

Dance Day events can be special performances, open-door classes, public rehearsals, lectures, exhibitions, articles in newspapers and magazines, dance evenings, radio and TV programmes, street shows, parades, shop window decorations etc. Events are primarily organised by dance companies, amateur groups, schools, associations and other institutions active in dance.
