Movie Addict Headquarters helps listeners get ready for National Dance Day -- which falls on Saturday, July 30 this year -- with performances by Gene Kelly, Lucille Ball, Lily James, Dick Van Dyke, Lucie Arnaz, Elvis Presley, Julie Andrews and more. Tap, rumba, waltz, musical comedy, burlesque, ballet and other dance styles on film will be included in this special episode.

National Dance Day was created to raise awareness about and encourage Americans to embrace dance as a fun and positive way to maintain good health, and we are happy to highlight such a worthy cause!

Back in 2010, Eleanor Holmes Norton introduced the resolution in Congress, and the last Saturday in July was designated as an “unofficial” national holiday by Nigel Lythgoe, co-creator of “So You Think You Can Dance” and co-president of the Dizzy Feet Foundation.
