International Dance Council

International Dance Council (CID, in French: Conseil international de la danse ） is the umbrella organization for all forms of dance in the world. It was founded in 1973 at the headquarters of UNESCO in Paris "under the auspices of UNESCO as a forum for the exchange of ideas and developments in dance".

As a consultative body of UNESCO, the CID advises UNESCO, governments, and various national and international institutions in the field of dance.

Considered one of the most important international institutions for the development of dance worldwide, the CID is known as "the United Nations of Dance." It is recognized by the UNESCO system, by governments of various countries and regions, and by international organizations.

Every year, the CID organizes International Dance Day, which has been celebrated since its foundation.
