In partnership with Georgetown University Hospital Department of Neurology I am co-leading a pilot dance class and research on the impacts of dance for people living with multiple sclerosis. This is part of my role as Resident Movement Artist at the Georgetown Lombardi Arts & Humanities Program.
This study and curriculum development is in co-sponsorship with the MedStar Georgetown University Hospital Department of Neurology and is creating partnerships with national and international institutions. It is committed to the study of dance as a core exercise in improving mobility and symptoms of neurodegenerative diseases.

Movement for MS is a dance class for people with multiple sclerosis, their caregivers and loved ones. In the welcoming and joyful environment of the dance studio, Movement for MS empowers participants to explore their movement potential in fun and creative ways while building community, collaboration and physical confidence. Together we'll move through stretching, breath work, explorations of rhythm, and seated and standing dances.
This is a pilot program researching the benefits of dance for people with MS. Participants will be asked to fill out a simple quality of life survey before the first class and after the last class, and are encouraged to attend all classes for maximum benefit. Caregivers and family members are welcome to join!
