NATIONAL DANCE DAY
It is true that some have it ! Then again some don't ! Some can't keep time , while others step on toes. It doesn't matter today is that day for it. So grab your boot scooting best or your tugboats and get with the program.
Break out into a twirl or two-step on National Dance Day on the third Saturday in September. Created as a day to raise awareness about and to encourage Americans to embrace dance as a fun and positive way to maintain good health and combat obesity.
As a cardiovascular exercise, dancing offers numerous benefits. The activity may be low or high impact. However, either one will increase aerobic fitness. Other benefits of dancing include:
improved muscle tone
weight management
flexibility and strength
strong bones and reduced risk of osteoporosis
improved balance
increased cardiovascular health
enhanced opportunity for social interaction
helps boost mood
Also, age doesn’t matter. Your dancing partner may be a child or someone 20 years your senior. No matter how skilled you are, there’s always a new step to learn, too.

Turn on a favorite song and dance. Enroll children in dance classes. While you’re at it, sign yourself and a partner up for them, too.
