Historically, World Dance Day was introduced by the international dance agency CID-Counseil International de la Danse in 1982. This non-governmental organization invites all citizens of the world to participate to display a variety of distinctive dances in their country.
Together with UNESCO, CID is a forum for citizens of the world to stage dance performances from their culture. That way, it is hoped that all young people can continue to preserve culture through dance.
Packaged in a festival format, the commemoration of World Dance Day is considered to promote dance in a festive way. The people involved in it can also get new knowledge while also having the opportunity to showcase their work.
