International Dance Day takes place every year on April 29, the anniversary of the birth of Jean-Georges Noverre, the creator of modern ballet. International Dance Day was established by the Dance Committee of the International Theatre Institute, the main partner for the performing arts of UNESCO. Although dance and politics are in no way related to each other, dancing is not alien to politicians or monarchs. TASS takes a look at world leaders and members of royal families showing some masterful dance moves.
