The Direction of Intention

If you’ve ever doubted the power of the arts it is worth your time to investigate the Mark Morris Dance Group. In addition to being a world-class dance company, the MMDG has started a unique collaboration that began with the Brooklyn Chapter of The National Parkinson Foundation and is now in 40 communities around the world. It’s called Dance For Parkinson Disease.

These are not professional dancers dancing to raise awareness of Parkinson disease. These are people with Parkinson disease dancing, taking dance classes, with the members of the Mark Morris Dance Group. And, while dancing, the symptoms of the disease lessen or in some cases go away.

The body loves to move. The human spirit loves to express (or, perhaps love is the human spirit expressing). In this dance there are no limits.

There is no better example of empowered people empowering others. Visit their site and take a look at the short PBS piece. It will lift your spirits.
