Expressing support for dance as a form of valuable exercise and of artistic expression, and for the designation of September 16, 2023, as "National Dance Day".

House Resolution 687 is a non-binding proposal that officially recognizes dance as both a valuable form of physical exercise and a significant mode of artistic expression. The resolution seeks to designate September 16, 2023, as "National Dance Day" to encourage Americans to incorporate dance into their lives for improved health and wellness. While the resolution does not create new laws or mandate federal funding, it serves as a formal acknowledgment of the cultural and physical benefits that dance provides to communities across the country.
