FITNESS G O L F THE RUNDOWN PG. 6 Eden Coiro Director of Wellness In 1982, the Dance Committee of ITI founded International Dance Day to be celebrated every year on April 29, the birthday of Jean-Georges Noverre (1727 - 1810), the creator of modern ballet. The intention of the International Dance Day message is to celebrate how dance positively impacts our lives. Dance allows us to express ourselves artistically, provides health benefits, and can cross political, cultural, and ethnic barriers, bringing people together with a common language. This day was created to allow the world to recognize dance as a professional art form. International Dance Day is a tribute to millions of people across generations who have dedicated their lives to this craft. MAR/APR/MAY SPRING 2023 This day is all about celebrating the history of dance and recognizing its monumental place across all cultures. As we move into spring, I invite you to come dance with us!
