International Dance Day or World Dance Day is celebrated on 29 April. It was first introduced in 1982 by the International Dance Council (CID, Conseil International de la Danse), in collaboration with Unesco and is aimed at attracting the public's attention to the art of dance and its various forms. Here are some best quotes, messages, wishes, and greetings to share with family and friends. 1) Dance is nature. Listen to your heart, it dances with its own rhythm.
