We are absolutely thrilled to be supporting an exciting national campaign, Let’s Dance.
The campaign was founded by the fabulous Angela Rippon CBE and has one goal – to get the nation dancing! Angela has shared a video to all those involved in the campaign, to welcome you and celebrate coming together to share the power of dance.
At bbodance, we believe dance can enrich lives and enhance communities and this campaign gives a pathway for these beliefs to come to life. The campaign will build up to March 2nd, when up and down the nation dance events and activities will be taking place.
Aims of Let’s Dance:
Raise awareness of the incredible benefits of dance for our mental and physical health
Make it easier for everyone to access dance and join in, regardless of their fitness level, age or experience
Bring people together across divides and connect through the power dance
How YOU can be involved in Let’s Dance:
Everyone can be involved in Let’s Dance and we want to support our schools, teachers and members in making the most of this exciting campaign. Below are some ways for you to be involved…
Host a Dance Event
This could be celebrating Let’s Dance at an existing class/event or setting up a one-off activity especially for the campaign. Your event can be designed in ANY way that is suitable for your context.
Share the Campaign
Spread the word! Let everyone know about Let’s Dance regardless of their affiliation with dance. You might just inspire someone to take up dance lessons or attend a dance event. This can be as simple as sharing information on social media, in newsletters or putting a poster up at your venue.
Collaborate with Others
You might want to work with local organisations to host an event or celebrate the campaign. Are there several bbodance schools in your area? Why not join together and create a new event for everyone!
