Anybody and Everybody…GET UP AND DANCE!
National Dance Day: July 31st, 2011
What started as a small fantasy turned to reality when Nigel Lythgoe (of “So You Think You Can Dance”) declared July 31st a holiday, National Dance Day. This holiday was created in hopes of encouraging Americans to get up and move for the day. Not only to be active though but also to promote health and positive self-esteem through the art form of dance lessons. Learning and practicing dance exercises the mind, body and soul, creating fullness many Americans are lacking in today’s busy world.
The national holiday is actually going a step further, as it is being acknowledged by congress with an official act to pass the holiday. Congress supports this day for the fact that it will fight upcoming issues such as obesity and sedentary lifestyles. We know this holiday will accomplish the goal of encouraging a healthy lifestyle, through programs exploring dance education and physical fitness.
Last year was so much fun. Every dance class we held performed the dance. Flash mobs appeared and performed the routine. In cities people gathered by the thousands and moved to Flo Ridas “Club Can’t Handle Me” (http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/club-cant-handle-me-single/id378650465). Check out the video and learn the dance(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKUyp1GMQVg).
On a final note, we want to remind everyone that National Dance Day is a NATIONAL holiday; meaning EVERYONE can participate! This holiday isn’t just for the professional dancers or those trying to lose weight, ANYONE and EVERYONE should participate! This is a holiday made by the people, for the people to enjoy!
Dance away America! Have fun getting your groove on!
