Let’s Move – It’s National Dance Day!

Let’s Move! It’s National Dance Day and that means it’s time to celebrate all the great things that dance does for people, pets, cheerleaders, dancers and everyone in between. Launched by Nigel Lythgoe in 2010, National Dance Day was created to encourage a healthy lifestyle. With the help of So You Think You Can Dance and popular choreographers like NappyTabs, National Dance Day has become a nationwide phenomenon.

There are two official free events that will celebrate dance today, one is hosted in Los Angles in Grand Park and the other in Orlando at the Dr. Phillips Center for Performing Arts! If you aren’t able to make it to one of the two locations this year, make plans to host your own dance day event in your community! All you need to do is select a cause and start planning your event. You can even register your event to be posted on the official event registry!

Whether you’re a dancer, mascot, mom or cheerleader — don’t forget to dance today.
