Oak Hill Middle School Hosts National Dance Day

Oak Hill Middle School hosted its annual celebration in honor of National Dance Day. Established in 2010 by American Dance Movement co-founder Nigel Lythgoe and Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton, National Dance Day is an annual celebration dedicated to dance, that encourages Americans of all ages to incorporate dance into their lives. By creating a focused day of celebration to show support for dance as a valuable form of exercise and of artistic expression, American Dance Movement aims to educate the public about dance and its many benefits, as well as make dance accessible and inclusive to everyone.

Students from each school in Baldwin County School District performed dance routines to 6th, 7th, and 8th graders throughout the day. The audience also had a chance to participate during specific times during the performances. Watch the video below to catch a recap of some of the performances.
