Tāṇḍavam also is known as Tāṇḍava Natyam is
a divine dance performed by the Hindu God Shiva. So, dance is the manifestation of
primal rhythmic energy.
29th April, this day acts
as a wake-up call for many institutions that have not yet
recognized the value of dance as an art form. It is a celebration day for
those who can see its value and importance.
Except for the Pappu of Indian movie songs who
cannot dance sala or maybe can do only salsa, as far as globally celebrated
events are concerned, this is one of the most anticipated one by creatives
around the world. Everyone can dance, only some feel shy that also if being
watched. The art of dance can be traced
back at least 9,000 years to ancient Indian paintings, while ceremonial dances
appeared in many other ancient cultures. It has been a central ingredient in
human life ever since, with everyone, from tribespeople to professional
entertainers showcasing their talents.
International Dance Day was introduced by
UNESCO partner and NGO Conseil International de la Dance (CID), France, in
1982. The fact that April 29 happens to be the birth anniversary of the
world-famous French dancer and ballet master Jean-Georges Noverre is purely coincidental,
but such serendipity lends an added sheen to the day and its celebrations,
nevertheless.
Various forms of
Dances are performed all over the world for various purposes. However,
in present times too, in many countries dance is looked upon as just a hobby or
a way to pass time and there are very few who take up the art form as a career
or follow it with persistent passion. The events on this day, dedicated to
dance, are intended to focus on the significance of dance while providing an opportunity
for professional dancers themselves to reaffirm their decision of dedicating
their lives to dance and spreading the word.
Not to
forget dancing is a microcosm of social construct, dancers of the world feel a
connect, irrespective of race, religion, or country coming in the way. The
intention of the International Dance Day Message is to celebrate dance, revel
in the universality of this art form, cross all political, cultural, and ethnic
barriers, and bring people together with a common language - dance.
On or around 29th April, various Dance
Companies, Amateur Groups, Schools, Associations, and other Dance Organisations
organizes various events which are primarily organized jointly with Non-Dance
Institutions such as a Government Agency, Public School, Municipality, Business
Enterprise, Trade Union, etc. The event at UNESCO is organized in partnership
with World Dance Alliance Europe.
How can I end without mentioning the grace in animals and birds
especially the peacocks who dance in full glory when Nature gives them what
they seek! Before others make you dance to their tunes, figure out what makes
you dance.
Happy International Dance Day @ Ananda!
