Dance Day

Dance Day is one of the UN's international theme days. The International Dance Day was established in 1982, to commemorate the birthday of Jean-George Noverre. Noverre worked as a ballet master during the 18th century, and his works came to be of great importance for the development of ballet.

In Sweden, Dance Day is celebrated on April 29th since 1998, following an initiative by the Swedish Dance Committee ahead of the Cultural Capital Year. It is now an annual event to give extra attention to the dance.

This year, we celebrate Dance Day on April 28th by welcoming everyone to come and join us in celebrating at Sara kulturhus!
There will be both dance performances and try-outs in different dance styles, everything from traditional, Swedish club dance to languishing, South American tango rhythms and Egyptian belly dance.

Welcome!
