PNCA to Celebrate International Dance Day with Diverse Performances

The Pakistan National Council of the Arts (PNCA) is set to celebrate International Dance Day on April 29 by organizing a series of folk, classical, and Sufi dance performances. This initiative aims to promote diverse dance forms and preserve the cultural heritage of various nations. Director General PNCA, Muhammad Ayoub Jamali, emphasized the importance of recognizing dance as a significant art form with a rich history spanning centuries.

International Dance Day, established by the Dance Committee of the International Theatre Institute (ITI) in 1982, serves as a platform to honor the art of dance. Each year, an eminent dance personality is selected to craft a message for this occasion. The day not only celebrates the value and essence of dance but also advocates for its recognition by governments, politicians, and institutions for its cultural and economic contributions.

In conclusion, the upcoming event organized by PNCA signifies a tribute to the art of dance and its cultural significance. By showcasing a variety of dance genres, the celebration of International Dance Day serves as a reminder of the artistic diversity and heritage that dance embodies.
