Thanks for joining us!
 

Dear Colleague,

The entire Dance for PD team would like to wish you a Happy New Year!

Thank you for participating in our two-day workshop and seminar in Hong Kong last month. We hope you feel enriched, inspired, and informed by the training experience. 

We invite you to review the information below, which includes details about accessing your member resources, among other things. 

Melody will continue to be your primary contact for local matters and initiatives. However, we encourage you to reach out to either of us if you have questions about any aspect of this work or have questions about continuing your learning path.

We look forward to staying in touch, and we hope to have the good fortune of working with you again sometime. Thanks again for sharing your time and talents so generously - and thank you for harnessing the power of dance to support the lives of people living with Parkinson's and other movement challenges.

With gratitude,
David, Erica Rose, and the Dance for PD team
