A Message for International Dance Day 2026
In 1982 the Dance Committee of the International Theatre Institute founded International Dance Day, to be celebrated every year on April 29, the birthday of Jean-Georges Noverre (1727-1810), regarded as the creator of modern ballet. Every year the ITI selects an outstanding choreographer or dancer to provide a message to celebrate dance and its ability to bring people together with a common language.
This year the message is authored by BC and Vancouver’s own Crystal Pite.
