世界節(jié)假日博覽 第85期:國際舞蹈日

International Dance Day, also known as World Dance Day, is celebrated on April 29 each year. It started in 1982 to commemorate the birthday of the dancer Jean-Georges Noverre. The day is organized by the International Dance Council (IDC), which is part of UNESCO (the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization). The aim of this day is to promote all kinds of dance around the world and to highlight the importance of dance to world culture. An additional purpose of celebrating this day is to encourage governments around the world to introduce dance in schools. The IDC believes dance education is an important part of school life from primary school, especially because it is an important part of our culture.
每年的4月29日為國際舞蹈日，也被叫作世界舞蹈日。該節(jié)日始于1982，創(chuàng)建目的是為了紀念讓-喬治·諾維爾誕辰。該節(jié)日由“世界舞蹈理事會”主辦，世界舞蹈理事會隸屬于聯(lián)合國教科文組織。該節(jié)日的設立目的是要宣揚各種舞蹈類型，重視舞蹈對世界文化做出的貢獻。慶祝該節(jié)日的另一目的是要激勵政府，讓舞蹈走進學校。“世界舞蹈理事會”認為，從小學開始，舞蹈教育就是學校生活的重要組成部分，最重要的是，它還是文化的重要組成部分。


Dancing is something everyone can do. Young children love dancing. It forms a large part of their play in their early years. In our adult life, we continue to dance at weddings, parties and discos. We can continue to dance even in our 80s, 90s and beyond. It is an extremely healthy activity. Dance is also an art form. Dancers study for decades to perfect their art. There are many different forms of dance, ranging from classical ballet to hip-hop, belly dancing, flamenco and traditional folk dances. The word 'dance’ means the movement of the body to music, usually in a rhythmic way. We can dance alone, with a partner or as part of a large group. Dancing can be a very social interaction.
所有人都能翩翩起舞。兒童更是熱愛舞蹈。對于兒童，大部分娛樂項目與舞蹈有關(guān)。對于成年人，婚禮、派對以及迪斯科都能夠看到舞蹈的身影。八九十歲，甚至是再年邁的老人還能盡情歡舞。舞蹈有益健康。舞蹈還是一種藝術(shù)形式。舞者花費數(shù)十載塑造他們的完美藝術(shù)。舞蹈形式多種多樣，從古典芭蕾到嘻哈藝術(shù)、肚皮舞、弗拉明戈以及民間舞。單詞“舞蹈”意為身體隨音樂的擺動，通常是有韻律的跳動。我們能夠獨舞，雙人舞或是團體舞。舞蹈還是一種社交方式。
