National Potty Dance Day
March 5, Wednesday
What is the Potty Dance?
The Potty Dance is a playful dance that children perform when they begin to understand that they need to use the potty. At this moment, children can express their excitement by dancing, jumping, or doing funny movements. This dance symbolizes the moment when children actively try to accomplish an important task — going to the potty, which becomes a significant part of their development.
