This month in the dance world: international dance day on April 29.
Woven in almost all societies in the world is the art of dance! Every decade and century, dance styles have transformed, reformed, and innovated to become the most powerful expressive physical art.
There's cave paintings in India dating back to 8,000 BCE that depict dancing, 5300-year-old tomb paintings in Egypt pinpoint to the origin of ancient dances and it is believed that dance originated 9000 years ago near Pakistan and 10,000 years ago trance-like dance moves were used to communicate with the spirit world in Africa.
As you can see, dance has touched all points of the map throughout many generations touching hearts no matter the age, no matter the skill, no matter the style and we are proud to watch our students grow and be a part of this amazing and empowering form of art.
Happy Dance Day!
