International Dance Day

In 1982 the Dance Committee of ITI founded International Dance Day to be celebrated every year on the 29th April, the birthday of Jean-Georges Noverre, creator of modern ballet. International Dance Day on April 29th is an annual celebration of how dancing positively impacts our lives. The human body’s ability to move, groove, pop, and sway has captivated the way we interact with music and express ourselves artistically. This day was created to allow the world to recognize dance as a professional art form.

"Social dancers believe that it is because of hope that we suffer.
It is through hope that we will change things for the better."


Dancing gives us the ability to communicate emotions frequently deeper than our own language. International Dance Day is a tribute to millions of people across generations who have dedicated their lives to this craft of enchantment. People reflect each other constantly, but when they dance, perhaps what they reflect most is that moment of honesty. Dancing is an action shared by both professionals and amateurs alike and is enjoyed in all parts of the world. This day is all about celebrating the history of dance and recognizing its monumental place across all cultures.

Line dancing for men? It is not illegal on Oahu?

Covid 19 seems to be World Wide is spite of Trump. It is pretty clear that it spreads mainly from person to person, Mainly through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs. If you wear a mask, you not only protect yourself from some one else, but you also protect someone else if you already have it. If each wears a mask, double the protection. Spread is more likely when people are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet).

"Social dancers believe that in all things
it is better to hope than to despair."
