Segerstrom Center for the Arts invites the community to celebrate dance, culture, and inclusion at the seventh annual National Dance Day on Saturday, September 21, on the Julianne and George Argyros Plaza. This year, the event is part of the Center's Latinx Heritage Month festivities, featuring a bilingual emcee and performances that showcase various Latinx dance styles.

National Dance Day is a free, family-friendly event that welcomes all ages and abilities to participate.
