As your daughter is so young, I would recommend she start a dance movement class for a couple of years to help develop coordination and provide some basics of dance without any pressure. At my dance school we have some ballet students as young as 5, and because our focus is on fun at this age, the little ones love it.
The first public reading of the Declaration of Independence was on July 8, 1776. Delegates began to sign the Declaration of Independence on August 2, 1776. In 1870, Independence Day was made an unpaid holiday for federal employees.
Best Answer: Yes, we DECLARED independence July 4th, but that is not the answer. The Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4th, 1776, but the United States was not 'officially' independent from Great Britain until the Treaty of Paris was signed September 3, 1783 after the American Revolution. We had to win the war first before we could 'GAIN independence.' So the answer is 1783!
