Let’s Dance: Bringing Movement, Fun, and Fitness to Schools and Clubs!
Dance is more than just movement, it’s a way to express creativity, improve fitness, and bring people together. The Let’s Dance campaign, founded by Angela Rippon CBE, aims to inspire people across the UK to get moving through dance, no matter their age or ability.
With the first-ever National Day of Dance happening on Sunday, March 2nd, 2025, now is the perfect time for schools and clubs to get involved. Whether it’s through rhythmic gymnastics, creative movement, or structured dance routines, incorporating dance into PE lessons and extracurricular activities can have incredible benefits for students.
