Apple Planning Apple Watch Activity Challenge for International Dance Day on April 29

[MacRumors]

Apple is planning to host an Apple Watch activity challenge on International Dance Day, which is set to be celebrated on Friday, April 29. The Activity Challenge will show up on the Apple Watch as a notification in the days leading up to the event.

To get the International Dance Day award, Apple will ask Apple Watch users to do a dance workout of 20 minutes or more on April 29.

Time to groove! Earn this award by recording a Dance workout of 20 minutes or more on International Dance Day, April 29. Record it with the Workout app or any app that adds workouts to Health.

Apple Watch users who successfully complete a dance workout on the appropriate day will unlock a badge in the Fitness app along with animated stickers that can be used in the Messages and FaceTime apps.

The challenge can be completed with a standalone dance routine or by using a dance routine in Apple Fitness+. Apple's fitness subscription service has a dance category that will fulfill the requirement. Apple Fitness+ is priced at $9.99 per month or $79.99 per year.

International Dance Day is one of the Apple Watch activity challenges that Apple hosts on an annual basis, and it will come one week after the Earth Day activity challenge.

Come on Apple, what happened to being inclusive? Why no animations of tendus or developpés?

 

[mansplains]

Do TikTok "dances" count?

 

[KoolAid-Drink]

Yasssss, dance party time!

 

[CarlJ]

Okay, I get that it's going for maybe sort of a Saturday Night Fever disco look, but that first badge looks so much like "hailing a taxi".

Who comes up with these ‘international’ days? ?

 

[Derekuda]

Really doesn't take much to please apple people these days huh... digital challenges/trophies, overpriced watch bands, and usb-c adapters... such an innovative company. /s

hoping for a Just Dance Now apple watch app to control the Just Dance Now apple tv game

 

[Deguello]

I wonder if I can tell the watch my walk is dancing.

 

[B4U]

Dancing?

Now we are talking! ?

 

[Orange Bat]

I just signed up for Fitness+ and the awards are the thing I care least about.

 

[japanime]

Who comes up with these ‘international’ days? ?

People who are generally happy, enjoy life, and find pleasure in simple things.

 

[Jeven Stobs]

If only Apple made the people animating these to work on completely wiping out occasional system stutter, for example when opening Control Center after using Reachability. ?

Sounds like a good idea to me. I might have to give it a try 🤣

 

[BvizioN]

I didn't even know there is a dance day!!

 

[DeepIn2U]

Now THIS I was born for!!

Do TikTok "dances" count?

Probably even if super silly probably counted.

Who comes up with these ‘international’ days? 😅

Lol I have no idea but some are cool. I’d imagine if this day existed in the 80’s we’d have international breakdance cosmos at the Olympics.

 

[svish]

Nice stickers. Ready for the challenge!!

 

[DeepIn2U]

But seriously …

How can I download these GIfs please Op?!

And I swear this is Craig doing the J Travolta Saturday Night Fever Dance!

 

[ana45]

I did it for the heck of it and as par for the course, I wasn’t awarded the badge.
