What is Let’s Dance?
Let’s Dance is a national campaign to inspire everyone in the UK to embrace dance as a way to improve their health, connect with others, and have fun.
Founded by Angela Rippon CBE, the campaign is supported by leading organisations including the Sport and Recreation Alliance, NHS, and Parkinson’s UK.
Our mission is to get more people dancing together, regardless of age, fitness level, or experience.
Why dance?
Dance is more than just movement – it transforms lives:
Health Benefits
Reduces stress, boosts mental wellbeing, and prevents chronic illnesses like diabetes and dementia.
Social Connection
Brings people together, combats loneliness, and bridges generational divides.
Joy and Fun
It’s an accessible, uplifting way to feel good – no experience needed!
