                                                       The official message for
                                               Dance Day
                                            29 April 2009


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.

Debido a la importancia del mensaje les ofrezco esta traduccion :

Consideramos que en el futuro  la danza debe apuntar a las personas que no  bailan. Estos pertenecen a dos categorías: los que simplemente no aprenden, y los que piensan que no son capaces de bailar. Ellos representan el mayor reto para el maestro de baile de la profesión. En consonancia con la UNESCO, los miembros deben focalizar su lucha  contra los prejuicios y la discriminació n,   tratando de ampliar los límites de la danza y cambiar la percepción actual de lo que es una bailarina. Danza no son necesariamente las exposiciones de extremos fisicos, precisión exacta, o la emoción del mismo cuando llega a su punto mas algido entre los artistas intérpretes o ejecutantes. y por ello enriquecemos la danza en representaciones con bailarines, cantantes, actores, narradores, mimos, acróbatas etc, de todas las edades y todos los grados de capacidad. Con lo que , no debe ser "excluido" en la danza el deber moral de los gobernantes, y abrir una gran puerta en tiempos de crisis económica y el desempleo a la danza .  En cada país hay millones de personas con discapacidad física o mental. Creemos que es el momento en que deberian crearse puestos de trabajo a miles de profesores de baile asistidos por el Ministerio de Salud, cuyos presupuestos son muchas veces mayor que la del Ministerio de Cultura. La integración de personas marginadas en la práctica de la danza es tan importante como su integración en la fuerza de trabajo. CID tiene  la filosofía de que todos puedan bailar. En el 2009 el "Día de la danza" debe focalizarse en la danza inclusiva, incorporando para ello a todos los miembros de la sociedad en nuestras clases y nuestras actuaciones.
