Unfortunately there is another organization that claims they created International Dance Day. The truth is that it was the International Dance Committee of ITI that created the day in 1982, and since its first day it has always got eminent dancers and choreographers to write the message. The fact that it was the International Dance Committee of the International Theatre Institute can be proved with facts.

For the sake of argument, we will only attach one document written by the Assistant Director-General for Culture of UNESCO, Mr. Alfredo Pérez de Armiñán, written for the International Dance Day Celebration in Shanghai, 2015.
