International Dance Day on April 29th is an annual celebration of how dancing positively impacts our lives. The human body’s ability to move, groove, pop, and lock has captivated the way we interact with music and express ourselves artistically.

This day was created to allow the world to recognize dance as a professional art form. Dancing gives us the ability to communicate emotions frequently deeper than our own language. International Dance Day is a tribute to millions of people across generations who have dedicated their lives to this craft of enchantment.

“People reflect each other constantly, but when they dance, perhaps what they reflect most is that moment of honesty.”

Dancing is an action shared by both professionals and amateurs alike and is enjoyed in all parts of the world. This day is all about celebrating the history of dance and recognizing its monumental place across all cultures.

“During these troubled times we continue to Dance” says the Sri Lanka Foundation Academy of Performing Arts Staff and Students and enjoyed celebrating International Dance Day.
