International Dance Day was created by the Dance Committee of the International Theatre Institute ITI, the main partner for the performing arts of UNESCO in 1982. It aims to bring together dance lovers across the globe as well as to raise awareness about dance value for people and the importance of dance as an art form. Our dance celebration at Inch House has been organised by Inch Community Association with generous financial support from Cameron Toll Community Fund.
