International Dance Day - Message The future of dance lies where there are persons who do not dance.
These belong to two categories: those who simply did not learn, and those who think that they are not able to dance. They represent the greatest challenge for the dance teacher's profession.
In line with UNESCO's struggle against prejudice and discrimination, we are trying to expand the boundaries of dance and to change the current perception of what a dancer is.
Dance performances are not necessarily exhibitions of extreme physicality, accurate precision, or bursting emotion - they can be celebrations of interaction between performers. We can enrich dance concerts with dancers, singers, actors, narrators, mimes, acrobats etc., of all ages and all degrees of ability.
Bringing the 'excluded' into dance is a moral duty, but also opens a great door in times of economic crisis and unemployment. In every country there are millions of persons with physical or mental disabilities. We believe they are ready to dance.
They will create jobs to thousands of dance teachers. They can be assisted by the Ministry of Health, whose budget is many times bigger than that of the Ministry of Culture.
Integrating marginalized persons into the practice of dance is as important as integrating them into the workforce.
CID holds to the philosophy that everyone can dance. Dance Day 2009 is dedicated to inclusive dance. Let us include all members of society into our classes and our performances. Prof. Alkis Raftis President of the International Dance Council CID UNESCO, Paris

Is there foundation to "politics"? Maybe, if you read this article you may get an answer you were not expecting...
Baguio City Shame On February 16/17 PPDSA - AATD - NDL conducted its National Dance Teacher Training & Certification Project endorsed by DepEd & CHEd. Another sad scenario developed in Baguio two years after a previous shameful exhibition put forward by the Professional Dance Teachers Association in Baguio Teachers Camp (March 13th 2006). This latest scenario in this 2008 situation, where certain individuals and/or groups feel they have the right to dictate and worse, to even intimidate others to their crazed belief that they are the only "authorized and/or recognized" body for dance sport in its administration and development within the Philippines. It becomes further depressing to realize that this group of insane despots could feel it their right to impose threats of sanctions onto local school children without the presence of a supportive adult such as a parent or school teacher for guidance. This autocratic action prevented the first WDC Amateur League event in the Philippines from going ahead on this occasion. Our bottom line is that from every negative emerges a positive, and that is how PPDSA, AATD, NDL, WCDF and our other associates maintain a forward progression no matter what hurdles are placed before us.
