International Choreographers Day
Dance is a form of passionate and emotional representation. It includes body gestures that each have a unique narrative that cannot be articulated in language alone. The choreography, or meticulous preparation, is what gives the performance its direction and rhythm. The phrase "choreography" was reportedly coined in a work by Nicolas de Montreux that's been adopted into English in 1624. Everything and anything that contributes to excellence should have a framework, and in the dance, it is the choreography that brings beauty. Every year on January 9, choreographers around the world commemorate International Choreographers Day to recognise their dedication to entertaining and engrossing audiences.
