This week is about to spreading the delight and joys of dancing, and to create awareness about its impact and benefits.
History of Dance
As far as we can tell, dance has been around all over the world since the most primitive of human civilizations: early cave paintings seem to depict dancing figures as early as 3300 BC. Early on, dance seemed to primarily be used for ceremonial purposes or to communicate stories. Dance styles have changed through history, but dance itself remains one of the most expressive physical art forms.
History of National Dance Week
National Dance Week was founded in 1981 by a group of dance-related organizations to increase awareness about dance and its contributions to our national culture, and bring greater recognition to it as an art form. The week is sponsored by the United Dance Merchants of America to increase public awareness and the appreciation of various forms of dance.
