Let's Dance!

We're excited to announce, we are joining the Let's Dance campaign launching 2nd March 2025!

This fantastic initiative, spearheaded by Angela Rippon, is all about raising awareness for the benefits of dance on both physical and mental health, bringing people together through dance and encouraging those that don't usually dance to give it a go.

Following her success on Strictly and reaping the benefits of regular dance, Angela is on a mission to get the nation dancing! Let's Dance is about encouraging everybody, from older people to teenagers, to embrace the joy and benefits of dancing.

We're sharing some of the wonderful dance opportunities taking place across Hertfordshire to inspire you to give dancing a try, whether that's from joining one of the dance events happening across the county or turning the radio on at home to have a boogie!

The more we dance, the better we will all be – as individuals, and as a society. So, Let's Dance!

A note from Angela:

"I'm the founder and an ambassador for Let's Dance, the UK's first national dance movement. This all started after my appearance on Strictly Coming Dancing, revisiting my roots in dance, where I had the chance to feel the benefits myself. It's this that sparked my mission to get the nation dancing, in the hopes of helping more people access the health and social benefits of dance."
