Just under two weeks until the SECOND ANNUAL NATIONAL DANCE DAY! Nigel Lythgoe, co-creator and judge of FOX’s So You Think You Can Dance and founder of the Dizzy Feet Foundation, joined with the Larry King Cardiac Foundation to establish the Dance 4 Your Life initiative to promote dance as a daily part of an active, healthy lifestyle. And last year, Congress recognized the last Saturday in July as NATIONAL DANCE DAY to encourage the nation, young and old, to move!
