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

Mercy by Twitch and Katie. Twitch has been one of my favorites for years. He is so good and he makes all his partners look good. Love seeing him on Ellen now also.

I like MI CONFESSION - Mark and Chelsie! Anyway, Congress should have better things to do than pass a holiday about dancing.

The funniest thing so far is when we actually had salsa dancing instructors teach us how to salsa during my Navy physical training. I have no idea what it was about, but we had fun. Also, I have no idea how salsa dancing can help in combat, but oh well!

I haven't watched the show, but I love to dance. I, of course, don't dance anywhere close to a professional, but I used to go dancing all the time and it was so much fun. It is also great exercise and helps so much with core stability in someone like me who is such a klutz.

My very best dance experience was when my husband took ballroom dancing, in secret . And surprised me with charm and grace at our first dance at our wedding - 28 years ago !! And still a 'charmer" ......
