The National Day of Dance featuring Miss Sweet Potato Pie and Tommy the Clown 3rd Annual Hip-Hop Fusion will be held at The Dome Arena on Friday, July 30.
Miss Sweet Potato Pie has been doing this event for the last two years and she was delighted that her already scheduled event occurs on the National Day of Dance. A holiday designated and promoted by the show, So You Think You Can Dance. "People don't realize how much energy and the number of calories used when you dance.It's a real work out because you are using just about every muscle," Dianne Snowden Johnson (aka Miss Sweet Potato Pie) continues. "Young people don't realize that physical fitness is a good thing. Older folks do.
"First Lady Michelle Obama's current efforts center on obese children and healthy living.What better way to support her cause then to be a part of this. Children don't realize all the empty calories they consume," she says. "What better way to learn than during dance fusion. Participants will learn about nutrition, exercise, movement and dance."
The Dance Fusion Competition allows children of all ages across New York State to compete in various forms of dance while expressing themselves."The arts have been embedded in me my whole life and I want to give back to the city's kids and our community through the arts."
