Paul's National Dance Day

Saturday, July 25th is National Dance Day. People from all over the country come to shake their booty. This auspicious day is an “unofficial” holiday, but it achieved national recognition in 2010 by Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton to promote and support dance education and physical fitness.

The originator of the event is the co-creator of the program So You Think You Can Dance, Nigel Lythgoe. All forms of dance are celebrated – from classical to street improv. Host cities provide event support via local contractors for staging, lighting, caterers and accommodations as they are expecting party buses to show up filled with dance troops, and individuals arriving in town to make their solo debuts.

Dance plays a crucial role in supporting the well-being not only of the physical health, but also the emotional and spritual well-being of a culture. Dancing has been acknowledged as a core value to any society, and is now recognized as a fundamental mainstay of a healthy culture.

Cindy

When you think of contributing to others it nearly always means a financial gift or a donation of your time. But what if you don’t have either of those?
