Move Your Body at National Dance Day Event

I love to dance. I think the saying “Dance Like Nobody is Watching,” is a wonderful mantra. I danced for 10 years as a child, wearing costumes that made me look like a bumblebee to a fairy and a lot somewhere in between if that’s possible. As an adult, I found a love for salsa dancing (these kids make me look like I have two left feet) when I lived abroad. Once time to go out and dance became less (that is I became a mom), I found Zumba, Cardio Funk, and this funky dance called Break-it-Down-With-Your-4-Year-Old, for some fun exercise.

If you too like to dance, or just watch “So You Think You Can Dance” or “Dancing With the Stars,” make plans to come to the National Dance Day event at the Wells Fargo Plaza this Saturday, July 26. National Dance Day is a grassroots initiative created by Nigel Lythgoe, executive producer of “So You Think You Can Dance” to encourage the nation, young and old, to move! The Charlotte event is sponsored by Carolinas HealthCare System.

The FREE event begins at 1pm and goes until 4:30pm. Dance instructors will be there to teach two National Dance Day routines, and some large group dance numbers. The National Dance Day beginner’s routine video is posted on the Blumenthal Performing Arts website. Go take a look. If these guys can do it, so can you! Coordinated or clumsy, go move your body! It feels good and will make for some lively family conversation and laughter!
