BBC Radio 1's Dance Anthems is a radio show broadcast on BBC Radio 1. It airs twice weekly; on Fridays between 6pm and 7pm hosted by Greg James featuring feel good dance tracks and remixes of current popular songs, and on Saturdays between 4pm and 7pm with Danny Howard, including a variety of features such as a "Future Anthem", "Push The Tempo", the "Radio 1 Dance Chart", "All Time Dance Anthems" in which a guest DJ chooses their three favourite dance anthems of all time, and a live mix from Howard himself for the final 30 minutes of the show. Former features include "Trending Tracks", the "Guest Mix", the "Back 2 Back" mix and "Victory Dance".
The show launched in April 2012 with James' Friday show replacing Scott Mills' Ready For The Weekend when the pair switched shows, and Howard's Saturday show replacing Reggie Yates.
The show is usually live from Ibiza during the Saturday of Radio 1's annual Ibiza Weekend in August, and there is occasionally a broadcast of BBC Radio 1's Dance Anthems on New Year's Eve.
