International Dance Day (World Dance Day) has been celebrated on April 29 through promotion by the International Dance Council (CID, standing for French: Conseil International de la Danse), an umbrella organization within UNESCO for all kinds of dance. The holiday was introduced in 1982 by the International Dance Committee of the UNESCO International Theatre Institute. Among the goals of the Dance Day are to increase the awareness of the importance of dance among the general public, as well as to persuade governments all over the world to provide a proper place for dance in all systems of education, from primary to higher.
So next week, the 29th of April dancers and enthusiasts can join IslandPeople at the IF House, 105 Tragarete Road for 3 hours of celebration in dance, whether be it pop, rock, soca or dancehall. All dances are welcome. The event starts at 12 noon so don't be late. See flyer for more details.
