WORLD  DANCE   DAY

Dance is a performance art form consisting of purposefully selected sequences of human movement. This movement has aesthetic and symbolic value, and is acknowledged as dance by performers and observers within a particular culture. Dance can be categorized and described by its choreography, by its repertoire of movements, or by its historical period or place of origin.
World Dance Day, supported by the International Dance Council of UNESCO, began in 1982. Over approximately a decade, the day has become increasingly popular as a medium to reiterate the relationship between dancers and their art and between dancers and their public. The main purpose of Dance Day events is to attract the attention of the wider public to the art of dance. In this context, GAC Foundation, organised by Sri Valli Sitaraman, has conducted fifth year of World Dance Day Celebration & classical dance was performed by club children enthusiastically. Thus we are endeavouring ourselves by Fostering Culture & Creativity in our GAC Foundation.
