Saturday, September 21st was one for the books, as dancers all across the country showed up and showed OUT for our favorite holiday: National Dance Day. From attending the flagship Orange County and DC events to posting epic videos of the official NDD routine, dancers of all ages, styles and skill levels joined in on the action. We at Dance Spirit were thrilled, and super proud, to see the dance community come together to celebrate the art form we love the most. Take a look at some of the highlights from the 10th annual NDD!
