July 28: National Dance Day

National Dance Day was created by Nigel Lythgoe, executive producer and judge for the So You Think You Can Dance television series. Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton, a long-time proponent of healthy lifestyles, introduced a National Dance Day resolution to promote dance education and physical fitness across the U.S.

National Dance Day is an annual event and “grassroots initiative to encourage the nation, young and old, to move!” in the United States.

The Dizzy Feet Foundation has commissioned two routines for this year, including a Hip-Hop Master Class and, for the first time, a Zumba routine.
