National Dance Day Being Recognized with Official Act of Congress
National Dance Day, a grassroots movement taking place on Saturday, July 31 that encourages the people of this nation to get up and move, is being recognized with an official act of Congress. Created by Nigel Lythgoe, executive producer and co-creator of the hit FOX series SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE and founder of the Dizzy Feet Foundation, the aim of National Dance Day is to promote health and self-esteem through the art form of dance.

Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC), a long-time proponent of healthy lifestyles, will introduce a National Dance Day resolution at a press conference on Saturday, July 31 in Washington, D.C., to promote dance education and physical fitness across the U.S.

In January, Congresswoman Norton introduced the Lifelong Improvements in Food and Exercise (LIFE) Act to promote exercise and diet changes. Norton’s LIFE bill directs the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to be a lead agency in combating obesity and sedentary lifestyles.

“More than 30 percent of Americans are obese, and childhood obesity has tripled in the past 30 years,” said Norton. “Television shows such as SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE are not only entertaining but are also encouraging people to live a physically active lifestyle. Holding a National Dance Day in the nation’s capital is a terrific way to promote fitness and fight obesity.”

Additionally, Congresswoman Norton will host her own National Dance Day flash mob on the National Mall (between 3rd St & 4th St SW) from 1:00-5:00 PM featuring local dance enthusiasts, representatives from dance schools and organizations and former SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE finalists.

“National Dance Day does not ‘belong’ to any single corporation, television show or charity,” said Lythgoe. “It belongs to the people. It will be up to the individuals, corporations and charities of this country to come up with ways to take part – wherever they may be and whatever their motivation: whether it’s to lose weight, raise money for a nonprofit or just have fun. It is my hope that countless exciting dance ideas will come to fruition on National Dance Day, like the world’s longest conga line in Miami or the world’s longest kick line in front of Radio City Music Hall or scores of breakdancers taking over the Venice boardwalk. The sky is the limit.”

Celtic Revolution - A Tribute to Irish Thunder and Emerald Beat Featuring the O'Shea Irish Dance Company and the Three Irish Tenors July 23,24,25th,



Cormac O'Se was born in Dublin, Ireland, into a family where Irish dancing is a way of life. His father and mother, Seamus O'Sé & Aine Uí Shé are long standing members of An Coimisiun le Rince Gaelacha, and directors of Dublin's renowned Scoil Rince uí She. Seamus and Aine started their school in 1971, producing eight World Champions, holding twenty-nine World Solo titles, eleven of those being held byCormac's brother Colm, the most decorated Irish dancer in history. Their students—including their own three children—have been part of Riverdance from its inception.

The O'Shea family has been performing and teaching in Europe and America since 1979. Their shows Irish Thunder andEmerald Beat, created by Aine and Seamus, have been featured at Busch Gardens in both Williamsburg, Virginia and Tampa, Florida since 2001 under the direction of Cormac's sister Dara O'Shea Delap.
