Keep Us Moving: 

Your Support Transforms Lives

Dear Friend,

Your investment and participation in Dance for PD has powered our mission to bring movement, joy, creativity, and connection to individuals living with Parkinson’s and their families around the world. 

Over the past year, you helped us:

• Expand opportunities: We worked with our partners to launch programs in 20 new communities in 6 countries.
• Expand access: We launched new Spanish-speaking classes in NYC, released Spanish and Mandarin versions of our At Home instructional videos, and partnered with Mediflix to drive new audiences to our resources.
• Expand Knowledge: We trained over 200 teaching artists across nine countries and launched NIH-funded research with Northeastern to study our program’s impact on physical activity.

For more than two decades, our program has been committed to supporting people with Parkinson's in 30 countries who rely on Dance for PD to manage symptoms, enhance well-being, and foster community—people like JM...

JM and thousands of community members like him inspire us to plan ambitious goals for 2025, and we rely on your continued support by December 31 to ensure we have the funds to make them a reality:

• Offering hundreds of free classes for people living with Parkinson's in NYC and around the world
• Training 125+ new teaching artists dedicated to sharing the joys and benefits of dance with their local communities on six continents
• Distributing 10 microgrants to help newly trained teachers jumpstart Dance for PD programs in new and underserved communities worldwide through the Bowen Fund for Growth
• Building new partnerships in healthcare, academia, and social service sectors to share the benefits of dance with more people

Your generosity makes it possible for us to dream big and deliver programs that truly transform lives. With your support, we can continue to innovate, expand, and inspire in 2025 and beyond.

Will you help us bring the joy of movement to even more individuals with Parkinson’s in the year ahead?

Please renew your support today with a charitable gift of $30, $60, $120 or more or by joining Dance for PD as a Member. If you've already given a gift this year, we thank you!

Together, we’ll keep moving forward—one step at a time.

With deep gratitude and best wishes for the new year,
David Leventhal
Program Director, Dance for PD
