International Dance Day

International Dance Day is celebrated on 29 April every year. Established by UNESCO’s International Dance Committee in 1982, it honours the power of dance as a universal language of expression, creativity, and cultural connection. It’s a brilliant one for workplace tenant engagement because it’s fun, energetic, and inclusive.

Celebrating dance as creativity, wellbeing, and community connection.
