Happy International Dance Day from all of us at Pridance ✨
Today we celebrate the universal language that connects us beyond borders: dance.
A heartfelt message goes out to all our stores and partners in Italy and around the world 🌍 who carry forward our vision with passion every day—supporting beauty, expressiveness, and the talent of those who live for dance. Thank you for being part of our family.
We proudly share and endorse the official message from the International Theatre Institute – ITI, the world’s leading organization for the performing arts, written this year by the legendary Mikhail Baryshnikov:
📣 Message for International Dance Day 2025 – April 29
✍️ Author: Mikhail Baryshnikov (Latvia/USA), dancer and choreographer
It is often said that dance can express the inexpressible. Joy, sorrow and despair become visible—embodied expressions of our shared fragility. In this way, dance can awaken empathy, inspire kindness, and spark the desire to heal instead of harm.
Especially now, as hundreds of thousands suffer through war, political upheaval, and rise up to protest injustice, honest reflection is essential. It’s a heavy burden to entrust to the body, to dance, to art. And yet, art remains the best way to give shape to the unspoken. Perhaps we can begin by asking ourselves: Where is my truth? How do I honor myself and my community? Whom do I serve?
– Mikhail Baryshnikov
Because every movement can become an act of truth, beauty, and purpose.
With gratitude and passion,
