NS Dance Week

Started in 1982 by the International Dance Committee of the UNESCO International Theatre Institute, International Dance Day is a celebration of dance for everyone, and an opportunity to learn about the social, physical, and emotional benefits of dance.

Included within the Nova Scotia Dance Week is the “Dare to Dance” school challenge. “With dance, everyone should be able to feel its positive impact,” says Dance Nova Scotia Executive Director Kenney Fitzpatrick. “With Dare to Dance, we are challenging students, teachers, and even admin, to get creative and find 20 minutes within Dance Week for your school to dance. And when we say school, we mean the whole school”.
