From April 2 to May 6, 2024 in the reading room of the interlibrary and individual subscription (room 164) a book exhibition "In the rhythm of Dance", dedicated to the International Dance Day, takes place.
The holiday dedicated to all areas and styles of dance was established in 1982 on the initiative of the UNESCO International Dance Council and is celebrated annually on April 29, on the birthday of French choreographer Jean-Georges Noverre, a reformer and choreography theorist who is believed to have made ballet an independent kind of stage art.
The exhibition presents a translated reissue of Noverre's book "Letters on Dance and Ballets", published in 1760, which substantiates the main aesthetic principles of choreography, revolutionary for its time, many of which remain relevant today.
The exhibition offers to plunge into the wonderful world of dance, its history, drama, composition, get acquainted with classical dance, Russian ballet, ethnic choreography, ballroom, oriental, modern and children's dances, learn about the healing power of dance movements and make your first steps with the help of book lessons.
A special place at the exhibition is occupied by publications dedicated to the choreographic art of Belarus: ballet, folk and pop dances, famous dance groups.
The opening hours of the exhibition correspond to the working hours of the interlibrary loan and individual subscription reading room.
Entrance to the exhibition is available by the library ticket or ticket of the library's social and cultural centre.
