Philadelphia Dance Day 2012

Philadelphia Dance Day is a nonprofit festival featuring free workshops, live performances from some of the city's best-known instructors and a huge evening dance party. The goal is to unite the community in celebrating dance as a powerful platform for creative expression and physical activity.

All dance enthusiasts – regardless of experience or even coordination – are invited to take part in the fun on July 28, 2012. There will be something for everyone, from creative movement for preschoolers to hip-hop for all ages. Participants will tour studios around the city to sample free workshops during the afternoon, then come together in the evening for the main event at the historical Ethical Society Building on Rittenhouse Square. A $5 entrance fee gets you the evening festivities which kick off with a huge Zumba party, followed by more lessons and open social dancing. Volunteer instructors and well-respected dance groups in the city will also put on a performance showcase.
