There was a whole lotta dancin' in the streets this past Saturday as hoofers, poppers, tappers, ballerinas and beat boys of every stripe gathered to celebrate the art of dance throughout America for #NationalDanceDay.

This year the Dizzy Feet Foundation posted three instructional Everybody Dance routines on YouTube (an Advanced, a Beginner, and a Seated) to learn - and then partied it out with the crowd at events in cities coast to coast. The hashtag trended at #1 on Twitter throughout the day.

The goal of this National Holiday, passed by Congress in 2010, is to promote dance as part of a healthy active lifestyle.The Dizzy Feet Foundation was created by Nigel Lythgoe, reality TV producer and performing-arts advocate, to sponsor and support dance education programs.

Are you a fan of Nigel's other creation, the show So You Think You Can Dance? If so, do you have a favorite routine that has left you crying, screaming, or cheering from either a choreography that drew you in, or a personal story that reached you?

If so, tell us about any dance experience in the comments below - and you'll automatically be entered to win a pair of 14kt gold classic hoop earrings!

To get in the mood, here are a few of the show's award-winning works that cover the gamut from Bollywood, Hip Hop, Jazz, Modern Dance, Latin, Swing, Tango, Jive and then some - as they speak to our humanity.

OUTTA MY HEAD - Alex and Twitch

TIME - Neil and Lacey

MI CONFESSION - Mark and Chelsie

MERCY - Twitch and Katee

My FAVORITE SYTYCD Season would have to be Season 2 with Benji Schwimmer. Benji (And his family) is and will always be my FAVORITE dancer(s). My parents had divorced when I was 4 and my dad got custody of me & my sister.... soon-there-after, he started taking up ballroom/swing lessons. Well, when I was a teen, I started to get into a lot of trouble and my dad decided to steer me in a different direction. He started taking me swing dancing with him and soon I found myself hooked up with a lady who owned a travelling ballroom/swing shoe store. I started travelling with them when I was 16. I first heard of Benji and Heidi from watching U.S. Open videos in the van while travelling for the shoe company. I finally met them (Benji & Heidi) in Atlanta at Grand Nationals a few years later.... and then met his dad (Buddy a.k.a. the King of Swing) at the first Michigan Classic. EXTREMELY talented bunch of dancers... but by far, Benji is definitely the best.

When I was about 12, the local discoteque let the youth in on Saturday mornings. "Earthquake Ethels" taught us the Hustle!

I wish I could dance like this, but I can't. I only dance at weddings and not well, but I do love to watch people who can dance well.

I've watched SYTYCD only a few times. I much prefer DWTS, especially this past season with Meryl and Maks. Many of their dances left me speechless, but I especially liked their routine with Calvin Harris's song "Feel So Close." I loved it so much I ordered the CD.
