From NewYork-Presbyterian, the Official Hospital of Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts
Our bodies are made for motion, and dance-inspired moves are an excellent way to maintain mobility and keep your joints healthy, says Dr. Charles Scott, a physical medicine and rehabilitation physician at NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia. The variety of movement in dance helps to improve coordination and ward off the negative impacts of a sedentary lifestyle, all while fostering a sense of connection with others and yourself that contributes to overall wellbeing. So, join us at the Movement Session With New York City Ballet to experience the joy of dance and movement.
