Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC), a long-time proponent of healthy lifestyles, will introduce a National Dance Day resolution at a press conference on Saturday, July 31 in Washington, D.C., to promote dance education and physical fitness across the U.S.
National Dance Day takes place Saturday July 31, 2010 and people from around the world are getting involved to support the movement.
According to the So You Think You Can Dance Blog "National Dance Day does not ‘belong' to any single corporation, television show or charity," said Lythgoe.
"It belongs to the people. It will be up to the individuals, corporations and charities of this country to come up with ways to take part - wherever they may be and whatever their motivation: whether it's to lose weight, raise money for a nonprofit or just have fun."
"It is my hope that countless exciting dance ideas will come to fruition on National Dance Day, like the world's longest conga line in Miami or the world's longest kick line in front of Radio City Music Hall or scores of breakdancers taking over the Venice boardwalk. The sky is the limit."
Created by Nigel Lythgoe, executive producer and co-creator of the hit FOX series SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE and founder of the Dizzy Feet Foundation, the aim of National Dance Day is to promote health and self-esteem through the art form of dance.
You can even upload your National Dance Day video. So get your dancing shoes on and show your expression of dance spirit, while getting in a great workout calorie burn.
