International Dance Day 2007 

In 1982 the International Dance Committee of the International Theatre Institute (ITI/UNESCO) founded the International Dance Day to be celebrated every year on the 29th of April. The date commemorates the birthday of Jean-Georges Noverre, who was born in 1727 and was a great reformer of dance. 
Every year a message from a well-known dance personality is circulated throughout the world. In 2007, the author is the german choreographer Sasha Waltz.
