Dance Day preparations<br />
<br />
<br />
    On the 29th of April, as every year since 1982, Dance Day
will be celebrated all over the world by the international community of dancers and dance
enthusiasts.<br />
Dance Day is an initiative of the International Dance Council CID, UNESCO.<br />
We have prepared the following guidelines as a checklist for persons institutionally
involved in the wider field of dance: teachers, choreographers, group leaders,
journalists, researchers, associations, suppliers, organizations etc.<br />
<br />
Object<br />
The main purpose of Dance Day events is to attract the attention of the wider public to
the art of dance. Emphasis should be given to addressing a "new" public, people
who do not follow dance events during the course of the year.<br />
<br />
Events<br />
Dance Day events may be special performances, open-door classes, public rehearsals,
lectures, exhibitions, articles in newspapers and magazines, dance evenings, radio and TV
programs, visits, street shows, parades, shop window decorations etc.<br />
<br />
Organizers<br />
Events are primarily organized by dance companies, amateur groups, schools, associations
and other institutions active in dance. Wherever possible, it is better for events to be
organized jointly with a non-dance institution such as a government agency, a public
school, a municipality, a business enterprise, a trade union.<br />
<br />
Content<br />
Organizers have full freedom to define the content of the event.<br />
Make sure that you include general information on the art of dance, its history, its
importance to society, its universal character. This can be done in a short speech, a note
in the program, a text distributed to those present. By adding this dimension you make the
event different from dance activities taking place any other day.<br />
Read a message from a prominent personality, a poem, a passage from a text by a famous
author.<br />
<br />
Coordination<br />
In order to achieve maximum success, it is important that preparations start early
enough.<br />
It is imperative to inform the press and generally the media about your event.<br
/>
Notify an organization holding a central position at regional or national level, which
should publish a list of events planned for Dance Day.<br />
Entrance to events should preferably be free, or by invitation. Invite persons who do not
normally attend dance events.<br />
<br />
Location<br />
At best, events should take place in "new" places, such as streets, parks,
squares, shops, factories, villages, discotheques, schools, stadiums etc.<br />
By setting the event in original surroundings you stress the fact that this is an event
dedicated to the universal family of dancers.<br />
