Unesco/Congress International of Dance

The Congress International on Dance (CID) was founded in 1973 within the

UNESCO headquarters in Paris, where it is based. CID is a branch of UNESCO (United Nations Education, Science, Cultural Organization) and was formed to preserve dance forms around the world.

CID has over 17,000 members globally and is the official organization for all forms of dance in all countries of the world. Its members are the most prominent federations, associations, schools, companies and individuals in more than 170 countries.

One must be nominated to become a member. Fernando Barros Lirola was nominated last summer while he was in Santa Fe. 

Fernando Barros Lirola spoke with president, dance historian and author Dr. Raftis Alkis, last January in Madrid, at which time Dr. Alkis asked him to write a description of flamenco in the Mediterranean region, which could supplement his new book on the history of dance in ancient Greece and the Byzantine. Although Fernando’s specialty is song, there is no disconnect for him between the music of the singer with dance and guitar.

Subsequently Fernando was invited to participate in the 42^nd World Congress on Dance Research as a member of CID.
