National Dance Day was created in 2010 by “So You Think You Can Dance” co-creator and Dizzy Feet Foundation co-president Nigel Lythgoe. The day is held nationwide on the last Saturday of every July.

Saturday’s celebration in St. George marked the 6th annual National Dance Day observance held in Southern Utah. The event is organized by the Keil Krew with the support of Intermountain Dixie Regional Medical Center.

“We do it for the love of dance and movement,” said organizer April Keil.

The event featured dance groups and dance fitness instructors from across Utah who came to share in the celebration of movement. Dance groups such as the Main Ohana Movement and Siva Pasefika performed for the large crowd that attended, while instructors from different fitness facilities and dance crews led attendees in routines.

Snacks and drinks were provided for guests who attended.

St. George News was there to capture the celebration and created a photo gallery of some of the action.
