National Dance Day is an
annual celebration that takes place on the last Saturday in July. This
program encourages Americans to embrace dance as a fun and positive way
to maintain good health and combat obesity. NDD achieved national
recognition when Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton, a long-time
proponent of healthy lifestyles, announced at a press conference on
July 31, 2010, in Washington, D.C., that she was introducing a
congressional resolution declaring the last Saturday in July to be the
country’s official National Dance Day. This event will be great
for all ages and wonderful family activity.
The Terre Haute Parks
Department will be participating in National Dance Day again this
year. It will take place on July 27, 2019. This year it
will be held at Herz-Rose Park as we are offering National Dance Day
for FREE at Hamilton's Centers Annual We Live Event. The
instructors will teach the dance during the event. There will be a
final performance for friends, family, and the community to see at
1:30-1:45 pm. For more information contact the Torner Center at
812-232-0147.
