Dance Day
What is National Boys Dance Day?
National Boys Dance Day aims to recognise and celebrate all the incredible male dancers around the world, from the young boys taking weekly classes at their local school, to the professionals performing on the world's stage.
Its a day to celebrate the passion, artistry, and dedication of male dancers in all styles of dance; from ballet to ballroom, tap to hip-hop. A day to recognise the struggles that male dancers have to face, fighting the stigmas and outdated stereotypes that still exist.
It is a day to empower boys at a young age to try out that dance class they've been wanting to try, to encourage them to continue their dance training, and to pursue and fulfil their passion for dance whilst also meeting lots of other boys in the country who share their love of dance.
How can i get involved?
National boys dance day is a platform to celebrate male dancers of all ages, and in all styles of dance. A community where we can encourage the boys and let them share their passion for dance. It gives boys who may be the only dancer in their local dance school, the realisation that there are so many other boys out there that dance!
Founded in 2021, it continues to grow each year, with 2023 seeing a full capacity event at Central School of Ballet’s wonderful studios of 100 boys!
The National Boys Dance Day event at Central School Of Ballet will be held on the 27th October 2024., and is now LIVE for bookings!
