Keep Us Moving: 

Your Membership Transforms Lives

Dear Friend,

More people living with Parkinson’s than ever before are turning to dance—not just for exercise, but for joy, connection, and a renewed sense of possibility. Today, the Dance for PD community spans more than 32 countries. Our partnerships continue to grow. The research validating our work continues to deepen. But what matters most still happens in the simplest, most human way: when the music starts, and someone finds their place in the circle.

That moment—of connection, creativity, and shared humanity—is what your Dance for PD membership helps make possible.

This past year, we witnessed those moments across the globe: in our first-ever in-person Mandarin-speaking class in Queens; in Spanish-speaking classes in East Harlem and Brooklyn; in Chicago and Hong Kong, where new cohorts of teaching artists trained side by side for the first time; and in emerging programs serving Parkinson’s communities from Nebraska to Norway, Perth to Pune, Kathmandu to Lima. Different languages, cultures, and movement styles—one shared belief that dance belongs to everyone, and that dance can play a significant role in helping people with Parkinson's thrive with dignity, creativity, and community.

Today, I’m asking you to renew your Dance for PD membership and stand with us as we continue to create spaces where people living with Parkinson’s can move, connect, and thrive. Your renewal directly supports classes, teacher training, research, and the steady expansion of access around the world - and it supports you as well.

With your Dance for PD membership, you receive access to:

Even if your membership has expired or lapsed, you are still part of this story. And we would love to welcome you back.

Together, we can keep building the kind of experiences that change lives—one dance, one community, one moment at a time.

Thank you for being an integral part of our Dance for PD family. 

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