NATIONAL DANCE DAY
Kravis Center Dazzles with Dynamic
National Dance Day Celebration
The Kravis Center had the community moving and
grooving on Saturday, September 21 as we celebrated
National Dance Day. Hundreds of enthusiastic attendees
participated in a variety of free workshops and activities.
The event was open to all ages and abilities and invited
the community to experience the joy and benefits of
movement in many styles, ranging from hip hop to ballet.
As the official South Florida host of National Dance
Day for the second year, the Kravis Center welcomed
hundreds of attendees, many of whom were first-time
visitors. The day kicked off with a group warm up, led
by former Rockette Lori Ramirez, before transitioning
into a series of workshops featuring African dance,
hip hop, country fusion line dance, theater dance, jazz
funk and more.
“We were proud to be this year’s official South Florida
host of National Dance Day,” said Tracy C. Butler,
Director of Education. “The best part was that all the
events were free, offering the ideal opportunity for
anyone to join in, whether they wanted to try out a fun
hip hop combination or participate in back-to-back
advanced technique classes.”
