International Dance Council CID:
2007 - Dance Day preparations
On the 29th of April, as every year since
1982, Dance Day will be celebrated all
over the world by the international community
of dancers and dance enthusiasts.
The International Dance Council CID has prepared the following
guidelines as a useful checklist for persons
institutionally involved in the wider
field of dance: teachers, choreographers,
group leaders, journalists, researchers,
associations, suppliers, organizations
etc.
Object
The main purpose of Dance Day events is to attract the attention
of the wider public to the art of dance.
Special emphasis should be given to addressing
a "new" public, people who do
not follow dance events during the course
of the year.
Events
Dance Day events may be special performances, open-door courses,
public rehearsals, lectures, exhibitions,
articles in newspapers and magazines,
dance evenings, radio and TV programs,
visits, street shows etc.
Organizers
Events are primarily organized by dance companies, amateur groups,
schools, associations and other institutions
active in dance. Wherever possible, it
is better for events to be organized jointly
with a non-dance institution such as a
government agency, a public school, a
municipality, a business enterprise, a
trade union.
Content
Organizers have full freedom to define the content of the event.
Make sure that you include general information on the art of dance,
its history, its importance to society,
its universal character. This can be done
in a short speech, a note in the program,
a text distributed to those present. By
adding this dimension you make the event
different from dance activities taking
place any other day.
Read a message from a prominent personality, a poem, a passage
from a text by a famous author.
Coordination
In order to achieve maximum success, it is important that preparations
start early enough.
It is imperative to inform the press and generally the media about
your event.
Notify an organization holding a central position at regional or
national level, which should publish a
list of events planned for Dance Day.
Entrance to events should preferably be free, or by invitation.
Invite persons who do not normally attend
dance events.
Location
At best, events should take place in "new" places, such
as streets, parks, squares, shops, factories,
villages, discotheques, schools, stadiums
etc.
By setting the event in original surroundings you stress the fact
that this is an event dedicated to the
universal family of dancers.

2. World Dance Day
has been established in 1982 in view of
attracting attention to the art of dance,
every year on the 29th of April.
On that day, dance companies, dance schools, organizations and
individuals are asked to organize an activity
addressing an audience larger than their
usual one.
3. The International Dance Council (Conseil International de la
Danse - CID) is the official umbrella
organization for all forms of dance in
all countries of the world.
It is a non-governmental non-profit organization (NGO) founded
in 1973 within the UNESCO headquarters
in Paris, where it is based.
Its purpose is to act as a worldwide forum bringing together international,
national and local organizations as well
as individuals active in dance.
It represents the interests of the dance world at large and consults
accordingly governments and international
agencies.
