The Larry King Cardiac Foundation and Dizzy Feet Foundation announced Dance 4 Your Life!, a new national health campaign asking Americans to dance their way toward an active and healthy lifestyle.

Dance 4 Your Life! is centered around National Dance Day, an annual celebration that takes place on the last Saturday in July. The idea was launched in 2010 by Nigel Lythgoe, DFF co-president and co-creator and executive producer of FOX’s “So You Think You Can Dance.”

Expanding the message and fun of National Dance Day into a year-round initiative, Dance 4 Your Life! will raise awareness of the benefits of dance and encourage people of every age and physical condition to incorporate dance into their lives as a way to improve heart health and combat obesity.

Their goal is to promote another form of exercise that could possibly get those sedentary soles to move. This day is also bringing recognition to the Dizzy Feet Foundation, helping underprivileged youths get access to dance to become professional dancers, as well as making sure dance education is supported, accessible and promoted to everyone in the United States .

Dancing is gaining in popularity with the help of “Dancing with the Stars” and “So You Think You Can Dance,” as well as a weight loss competition reality show “Dance your A** Off." The physical strength and abilities of the dancers is tested, and it's definitely a fantastic way to get and stay in shape.  

If you are interested in participating in National Dance Day on July 30, you can go to the website www.Dizzyfeetfoundation.org and learn a dance routine.  

There are three different routines you can choose, from beginner to expert. As a self-proclaimed dance school drop out, for me to promote a day to step on my neighbors toes is all for the sake of getting you up and moving your body.
