Let’s Dance!

Let’s Dance! is a fantastic UK-wide initiative and campaign, led by broadcaster and journalist Angela Rippon CBE, who is here to inspire everyone to embrace the joy and benefits of dancing.


The official Let’s Dance! website is now live at www.lets-dance.org.uk - so you can dive in and get involved immediately!


Dancers, dance teachers, teaching artists, community practitioners, dance organisations, charities, health organisations, community groups and celebrities are invited to host events on Sunday 2 March 2025 to help start a campaign that will:

  • Raise awareness of the benefits of dance
  • Make it easier than ever for people to join in and find a dance activity – whatever their level, age or experience
  • Bring people together to connect through dancing.

The Let’s Dance! Event Guide provides everything you need to host your event, from posters to risk assessment resources. Visit the official Let’s Dance website to access the guide, register your event, and join the movement to get Britain dancing.

Let’s Dance! is now part of the NHS’s 10-year plan to promote fitness, health, and wellbeing. Dance is being officially recognised as a vital activity that improves both mental and physical health, combats loneliness, and brings sheer joy through creativity and community.

The press launch, at the Guildhall, London on Saturday 8 February 2025, included performances directed by Dame Arlene Phillips in an event showcasing dance groups from across the UK. Angela Rippon will appear on The One Show on Friday 7 February 2025 to kick off the press launch. The BBC and The Sun are supporting the campaign with articles, radio broadcasts, and a series of films highlighting the health and social benefits of dance.

Together, we’ll make Sunday 2 March 2025 a day to remember!
