Forget talent and training. So You Think You Can Dance? co-creator Nigel Lythgoe understands that many people dance just because it makes them feel good. He's declared July 31 National Dance Day (this baby's going to Congress!). Philly Dance Fitness will partner with three studios — LindyAndBlues, Messiah Dance Works and Major Moment Studio — to offer seven free workshops. It's the ideal commitment-free opportunity for dancers of any skill level to test out a variety of styles — from cardio bellydance to salsa to African jazz.

Sat., July 31, 11:30 a.m.-mid., various GradHo and Rittenhouse Square venues, 215-645-2717, phillydancefitness.com.
