Saturday is National Dance Day!
National Dance Day is a fun day that celebrates dancing and how it can bring people together. It happens every year and encourages everyone to get up, move, and enjoy dancing, no matter their age or skill level. People all over the country take part by learning special dance routines, joining dance events, or just dancing for fun at home. It's a great way to stay active, express yourself, and have fun with friends or family. Dancing can make you feel happy and confident, which is why National Dance Day is such an awesome celebration! Karsynn asked some of her classmates what their favorite dance moves are. Let's see what they said. #DunbarDoesItBEST
