Some Awesome Organizations I’ve Worked With

Dance is the #1 way to fight neuro-degenerative diseases.

It has been scientifically proven to vastly alleviate the effects of depression, anxiety, working memory, and loneliness, and is particularly useful for helping ADHD brains function better (like mine!). 

Check out Dr. Peter Lovatt’s TED talk on the subject here

And listen to Sir Ken Robinson’s philosophy on the importance of creative education here. 

(Pro Tip: fast forward to 15:28 to hear how neurodivergence and dance are intertwined for dancers/choreographers like Gillian Lynne, world-renowned choreographer of Cats and Phantom of the Opera)
