BEST BONES FOREVER! AND SAVVY LAUNCH
THE LET’S DANCE CONTEST TO GET GIRLS MOVING!
~ Importance of Staying
Healthy and Building Strong Bones ~
July 2011
Washington, DC --
Best Bones Forever! and the teen recording group
Savvy, featured in the TV show “The Wannabes,” have
announced the launch of the Let’s Dance Contest. With
a nod to First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move! campaign,
the goal is to get girls moving and help them build
strong bones, all while having fun with their friends.
Girls across the country are
invited to form a group with their BFFs (best friends
forever), choreograph a dance routine to one of five
Savvy songs, record themselves doing the routine, then
upload the video to the contest website at www.bbfletsdance.com.
The winning team will win a trip to appear in a Savvy
music video. In addition, teams will have a chance to
win weekly prizes, such as t-shirts and hoodies from
Be Your Own You.
While the Let’s Dance Contest
is all about having fun, Best Bones Forever!
is a national bone health campaign led by the U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services’ Office on Women’s Health.
The campaign targets girls ages 9 through14 to encourage
increased calcium and vitamin D consumption and physical
activity to help prevent osteoporosis.
To stay healthy and build
strong bones, girls need an hour of physical activity
each day, but that doesn’t just mean they have to hit
the gym or hop on a treadmill. Many other activities
like yoga, cheerleading, soccer, figure skating -- and,
of course, dancing -- count, too.
The Best Bones Forever!
Let’s Dance Contest featuring Savvy will run through
August 10, 2011 and winners will be announced on August
27, 2011. For more information and to upload videos,
