Did you know that September 19th is National Dance Day? Whether you’ve been dancing your whole life or your experience with dancing is limited to trying your hand at Tik Tok routines, you should celebrate the day and get your body moving! Turn on your favorite music then try one of these ideas to celebrate the holiday.
- Learn and perfect a new dance routine
Have you been spending hours scrolling through Tik Toks and wondering if you could do the dances that seem so easy? Grab a few friends or family members and spend some time learning one! Or, if you want to go more old school—look for a dance routine from a favorite movie. Need some inspiration? Try High School Musical or Footloose!
- Watch a classic dance movie
Not wanting to learn a dance yourself? Switch out your usual Netflix binge with a movie that includes dancing! Whether it’s a classic musical, a cheesy 90s movie about dance, or a contemporary movie that looks at a dance form you’ve never seen, you have plenty of options to choose from.
- Choose a dance workout routine
If your usual workout routine involves running or weight lifting, try to switch it up by adding dance to your workout! Head to a workout class or stream a tutorial for a fun way to get active. After your workout, head to Steel City Pops to grab a refreshing pop!
- Check out a live performance
If you’d rather celebrate National Dance Day by watching others dance, head to a live performance! Choose a ballet, a musical, or even a showcase in your area. Watching live performances is a great way to spend a few hours that isn’t your usual Friday night movie marathon and a fun idea to make new memories.
No matter how you celebrate, make sure to turn on your favorite music and get dancing in honor of National Dance Day!
