This Friday we are celebrating ‘Step in the Right Direction Dance Day’, and this year we are excited to be in our 10th year whoop !!

We all know the positive benefits of dance for our children and adults on the autism spectrum and it is sooo good for our mental health, wellbeing and keeps us feeling young and boosts those feel-good endorphins. This year once again I am asking you to get your dancing shoes on and the lovely Kristina Rihanoff has kindly offered to support the charity and celebrate with us for our 10th year.

Please watch the video below and put on your dancing shoes and join in and finish it off with your own creativity dance steps and have some fun.

Please share your videos across social media and use the hashtag #AKODanceDay and tag Anna on Twitter @Annakennedy1 Facebook AnnaKennedyonline or Instagram @AnnakennedyOBE 

The 10 best videos will receive a ‘Dance Likes Noones Watching’ range in collaboration with Born Anxious T-shirt or vest in Black or Purple’.

So come on what are you waiting for and start practising for Friday. Show us your moves and Keep Dancing.  

Please dont forget to use the tag #AKODANCEDAY

We would like to thank Jake Wood, Sandi Bogle, Robin Windsor and Tanya Foy for the special messages on the video.

A massive thank you to Kristina Rihanoff for the dance routine and steps.

An especially huge thank you to Tally Nothey for creating the video and Born Anxious for working in collaboration with us once again.
