Let’s Dance! with Angela Rippon CBE is a new and exciting campaign that has one objective—to get more people dancing.
The campaign aims to be a nation-wide movement of dance organisations, charities, health professionals, community groups and celebrities getting together to connect, exercise and have fun. Watch Angela’s invitation to you here.
/together has always promoted sport as a positive way for people to connect with each other and their local communities. So when the idea of Let’s Dance! with Angela Rippon was brought to us we knew it was something we would get behind.
Dancing brings a unique combination of benefits to individuals, communities, and society. Dance gets us moving, together, to tackle chronic health challenges, combat loneliness, and spend time with people we wouldn’t usually meet. The more we dance, the better we will all be, as individuals, and as a society.
Our ask is simple: help get the nation dancing! This could look like:
- Hosting dance event(s) that engage people in dance. This could be anything from a dance party, to inviting in a dance teacher to host a lesson for your organisation.
- Spreading the word to dance teachers & the public.
More information can be found in the comms briefing, as well as this event guide, which includes everything you and/or your organisation need to put on a Let’s Dance! event, from help raising awareness to risk assessment information.
Angela Rippon CBE is an award-winning journalist, TV presenter, newsreader and author. In 2023, she took part in Strictly Come Dancing, over thirty years after hosting the original version of the show.
