Motivation Monday: National Dance Day

National Dance Day happened over the weekend, which you know thanks to Kristi's alert a few weeks ago! I love this idea - people sharing their passion for dance in a way that brings us together.

I found it really inspiring this year to see all of the photos and videos on social media. It reminded me that we're part of a larger community - in the Zumba world and beyond it. ZHO (Zumba home office, that is) shared great images of dancers striking a pose on Facebook and Instagram... I loved following them!

Happy #NationalDanceDay! It doesn't matter when, where or how you Zumba dance...These dancers around the world show us...

Of course, the folks at So You Think You Can Dance were leading the charge on NDD. They offered up some cool choreography from Twitch and Travis Wall that people around the world learned. Here's Twitch's instructional video:

 
Then, the magic happened. Here are some clips of people replicating both Twitch and Travis's moves.
 

 

 

 

 
I love being reminded that dance can bring people together like this, even the nurses and patients in the hospital in this last clip. Truly inspirational!
