Dance Day

Enthusiasts from around the Republic have joined together, as well as several towns in Slovakia. Organization of events in each location are the product of the creativity of the local dance community. The event is being promoted via Facebook, email and on websites. The goal of the event, aside from promoting greater happiness, is to draw awareness to the meaning and power of dance and its healing and empowering effects. Vize tance also wishes to connect dancers of different styles, genres and levels in order to an understanding of how many people in this country are engaged in dance activities.

In Ostrava for example there will be a happening on the main square, Masarykovo náměstí, where dancers will form the word TANEC (the Czech word for DANCE) with their bodies. In Brno there will be a large tango dance event (milonga) and in Valašské Meziříčí there will dancing in a public square with radio Valašsko. Each city that hosts an action can post information to the Day of Dance Facebook page at www.vizetance.cz. The event is rapidly expanding by snowball effect and is in the true sense a community-based action, and in this case, a very spontaneous initiative.
