International Dance Day: Dance for Joy

April 29, 2022

Celebrate International Dance Day with social media sensation Gurdeep Pandher from the Yukon.

Initiated in 1982 by the International Dance Committee of the UNESCO International Theatre Institute, International Dance Day falls on April 29 of every year, commemorating the birthday of distinguished choreographer Jean-Georges Noverre.

This year, NAC Dance is thrilled to feature Gurdeep Pandher in celebration of his remarkable ability to spread hope and positivity around the world through bhangra dance.
