I am a former member of the Mark Morris Dance Group.

I am Program Director and one of the founding teachers of MMDG’s Dance for PD® program, which offers weekly classes for people with Parkinson’s throughout New York City, fosters similar classes in more than 300 communities in 25 countries around the world, and presents acclaimed training workshops for teachers interested in leading Dance for PD® classes.

I have received the 2018 Martha Hill Dance Fund Mid-Career Artist Award, the 2016 World Parkinson Congress Award for Distinguished Contribution to the Parkinson's community and the 2013 Alan Bonander Humanitarian Award.
