International Dance Day

Dance communicates and expands the universal language of communication, giving birth to joy, beauty and the advancement of human knowledge.

Touch the cosmos the source of our divinity illuminatingthe face of the ancestors so we can see our children

Everybody can dance together! Maybe not holding onto each other, but by each other's side.

So try, fail, start all over again but above all, dance, never stop dancing!

Come, turn off your television, switch off your computer, and come to dance. Express yourself through that divine and dignified instrument, which is our body. Come to dance and join people in the waves of pulses.

I believe that dance may be one of the most honest forms of expression for us to cherish: because when people dance, whether in a ballet performance, a hip-hop battle, an underground contemporary show or just in a discotheque, cutting loose, there are seldom any lies deployed, any masks worn.

This very special day is dedicated to the one language that everybody in this world can speak, the inherent language of our bodies and our souls, of our ancestors and of our children

The Spirit of Dance has no colour, no selected shape or size but embraces the power of unity, strength and beauty found within us
