Get ready for another exciting National Dance Day celebration! Join us for free classes, performances, and more engaging activities for all ages.

This year’s event champions dance as a starting point for community engagement. For DMV natives and those who now call the area home, embracing the local dance culture ushers in a sense of place and belonging. National Dance Day is the perfect time to discover this culture and reveal how art and dance experiences can be a source of empowerment, respite, and rejuvenation. Let dance be the key to opening conversations about how communities can come together and support one another.

This year’s event begins at 12:30pm and runs through 7:00pm. During the Millennium Stage hour, participants will have an opportunity to learn the official National Dance Day routine. The routine brings together dancers and dance enthusiasts around the globe to celebrate National Dance Day and invites participants to learn original choreography and put their own spin on it. This year’s instructional video will be released in the coming weeks and can be found via American Dance Movement’s website.

No registration or tickets required. Join us outside on the REACH Plaza.
