International Dance Day images you can send to your family and friends on April 29

International Dance Day is celebrated each year on April 29 to help people explore release their emotions through the medium of dancing. The International Dance Day was founded by the Dance Committee of ITI, a partner for the performing arts of UNESCO. This day is dedicated to the birthday of Jean-Georges Noverre (1727-1810) who was the creator of modern ballet. Since its creation in 1982, the ITI select an outstanding dance personality to write a message on this special day each year.

The day is a celebration for those who see the value and importance of dance as an art form. To celebrate this day, every year a ceremonial gala event is held by the Executive Council of the International Theatre Institute. Reportedly, the venue for this ceremony changes each year, but the celebrations as a whole can be enjoyed by anybody, anywhere. If you want to celebrate Happy International Dance Day 2021, here are a few International Dance Day pictures and wishes that you can send to your friends, family, and fellow dancers.
