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

FIX YOU - Robert and Allison

I love this show because the feedback from the judges is always constructive and guides rather harms these budding artists. My favorites (I have so many) include Lauren and Kent in Collide, Melanie and Marco in Turn to Stone and any duet that featured Melanie and Sasha!

I enjoy watching this show (it's a guilty pleasure for me). I love watching my young daughter watching them dance, sometimes she's just mesmerized. Mi Confession with Mark and Chelsie is the one for me. I love tangos and this one went above and beyond.

My daughter does ballet at her charter school. I enjoy watching their performances every spring. They do a wonderful job. She enjoys it also.

I dont watch So You Think You Can Dance or any talent shows on TV. After about the second season of American Idol, I swore them all off cause I think they are all rigged. I think I appreciate and value the talent more than the judges and the suits behind the show. So I dont waste my time and my level of stress over the fake drama they conjure just to get ratings.
