The Dance Committee of the International Theatre Institute (ITI) founded International Dance Day in 1982 and every year since then, the intention behind the day has been to celebrate dance and its many different forms as it breaks political, ethnic, and cultural barriers through its universality.
Each year the Committee chooses a dancer or choreographer from anywhere in the world, who then writes a special message. The message is translated into numerous languages and is distributed globally.
