Why International Dance Day is celebrated on April 29
UNESCO proclaimed International Dance Day on April 29, 1982. It was at the initiative of the International Dance Committee, belonging to the International Theater Institute, and this date was chosen because it corresponds to the birth of the French dancer, choreographer and writer Jean- Georges Noverre (1727-1810), considered the creator of modern ballet and nicknamed “the Shakespeare of dance.”
