National Dance Day 2010
So You Think You Can Dance executive producer and judge Nigel Lythgoe is proposing that July 31 be declared "NATIONAL DANCE DAY." Nigel has been tweeting up a storm about National Dance Day, a.k.a. D-Day. He wants to “prove that the ‘Power of Dance’ can MOVE an entire Country!” He is asking everyone, "young and old," to "get up off the couch and put on your dancing shoes on July 31st." "Individuals, families, organizations and communities from across the nation" are invited to come together through their creative expression in dance. Nigel's goals are to continue to generate national awareness for dance, a medium of expression and storytelling which, through shows like So You Think You Can Dance, has proven its value in bringing individuals from all walks of life together through a positive platform that has no boundaries and cultivates imagination and passion. Most importantly, the day is intended to promote health and wellness nationwide.
So You Think You Can Dance’s Hip Hop choreographers, Napoleon and Tabitha D’umo, have created a short Dizzy Feet Foundation dance routine specifically for Dance Day. Click on the You Tube Video Box below to view the video.
So...... The Dance Academy of North Jersey will be hosting a session where dancers of all ages are welcome to attend, learn the routine together and perform together. The performance will be videoed and posted on You Tube and on the DANJ Website for all participants to view and download. Please join us from 5 to 7pm on the 31st to participate in this good cause*.
