International Dance Day is celebrated on April 29 every year across the globe. Dancing brings happiness to people’s lives. Dancers use it as a mantra to express their talent, while non-dancers use it as an expression of their worries. Those interested in pursuing dance as a career can take advantage of this day.
In celebration of the importance and value of the art form “dance”, this day serves as a wake-up call to governments, politicians, and institutions that have not yet recognized its value to the people and individuals or have not yet realised its economic potential.
Every year, a new theme is selected to commemorate this occasion, and people plan their celebratory events accordingly. The theme for this year’s International Dance Day 2023 has not been announced yet. The theme for 2022 was “Dance for Life.
