ABOUT NATIONAL DANCE DAY/AMERICAN DANCE MOVEMENT:
Established in 2010 by American Dance Movement (ADM) co-founder, Nigel Lythgoe, 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 as a form of exercise and expression.
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.
