What is National Dance Day?
Established in 2010 by American Dance Movement co-founder, Nigel Lythgoe of the TV Show “So You Think You Can Dance”, and Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton, National Dance Day is an annual celebration dedicated to dance, that encourages Americans of all ages to incorporate dance into their lives. By creating a focused day of celebration to show support for dance as a valuable form of exercise and of artistic expression, American Dance Movement aims to educate the public about dance and its many benefits, as well as make dance accessible and inclusive to everyone.

American Dance Movement (ADM) believes that participation in dance connects the mind and body, promotes health and wellbeing, connects us with others and enables us to find joy through dance and movement. National Dance Day (NDD) is a day of celebrating dance, in all its forms, and takes place annually on the third Saturday in September.

National Dance Day has been moved! Previously, it was held on the third Saturday in July and the families of Gotta Dance has shared the tradition of celebrating by performing down the shore in Point Pleasant. However, it has officially been moved to the third Saturday in September which allows us to celebrate closer to home.
