A few days ago I talked on the train with someone who defined dance according to three main directions: rhythm, sound, movement. Everything that falls into these three vast areas touches the border of movement in the purest sense.
I don't know how many of you happened to do a zumba fitness lesson lately, I don't know if you've ever found yourself feeling the strength that is unleashed in an African dance lesson or if you are among those who have recently become passionate about tango . Or maybe you have danced classical dance for years, then you have moved towards contemporary, jazz, break dance, belly dancing, flamenco, new style hip hop, hip hop for children, aikido, lyrical jazz, gaad, pilates, pop, videodance, new frontiers of dance therapy. You name it and everyone dances his dance.
And it's time to celebrate all these dance styles in one event. Let's find out why it was decided to set the International Dance Day to April 29 and what are the news around Italy. We suggest you read the article with Lykke Li's Dance, dance, dance in the background.

Promoted by the International Dance Council UNESCO, the International Dance Day this year dedicated to the 40th anniversary of the CID : this is the International Dance Council founded in 1973.
