Lets Dance! returns

Let’s Dance was born out of a simple idea: Dance has the power to transform lives.
 
Founded by Angela Rippon CBE, the campaign is supported by the Sport and Recreation Alliance, the NHS and Parkinson’s UK. 

When Angela Rippon CBE reconnected with dance on Strictly Come Dancing, she saw firsthand the physical, mental, and social benefits of dancing regularly. Inspired by her journey and the conversations it sparked across the UK – particularly among older adults – Angela partnered with national organisations to launch a campaign that brings dance to everyone.

Whether you’re 8 or 80, a complete beginner, or a lifelong dancer, Let’s Dance is here to make movement joyful, accessible, and inclusive.
