Let's Dance
Let’s Dance will take place on 2 March 2025, the biggest dance event the UK has ever done, and an invitation to everyone to join in the fun.
Angela Rippon is the founder and an ambassador for Let’s Dance. This all started after her appearance on Strictly Come Dancing, revisiting her roots in dance, where she had the chance to feel the benefits herself.
This sparked her mission to get the nation dancing, in the hopes of helping more people access the health and social benefits of dance.
Let’s Dance aims to:
- Raise awareness for the benefits of dance, for your mental and physical health
- Make it easier than ever for people to join in and find a suitable dance activity, whatever their fitness level, age or experience
- Bring people together across divides to connect through dance
Why Dance
Dancing brings a unique combination of benefits to individuals, communities, and society. Dance gets us moving – together – to 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.
We want to show the nation that dance isn’t just for the professionals or something you want on tv – it's something you can do to make new friends and have a great time.
How you can get involved
- Hosting a dance event(s) with your WI/federation, could be your dance subgroup. This could be opened up to friends and family and local people to get everyone dancing.
- Spread the word to local dance teachers so they can come along and lead a session.
- Reach out to new organisations in your local area (or invite dance teachers in non-dance organisations) to join in on the dance fun.

Press and Media
Throughout the campaign, the Let’s Dance team will be coordinating media opportunities to promote it!
They will be building a series of national and regional moments across the UK that highlight the range of opportunities on offer. They are always keen to explore other possible opportunities for building a media moment to support the campaign.
If you believe that you have the makings of a good media moment that could be used to promote Let’s Dance, or you could contribute to a media moment, please get in touch with pr@nfwi.org.uk and fill in this sheet.
