Let’s Dance!

One of the well-known determinants of health is movement; and Naomi Goldberg Haas, choreographer, dancer, and teacher, has created a fun way to emphasize its importance. She is the founder and creative director of Dances for a Variable Population (DVP), a dance company and educational organization that is dedicated to encouraging adults of all backgrounds and abilities, especially older ones, to keep active with fun, beautiful dancing. Dances for a Variable Population is based in New York, and offers several free, outdoor dance experiences in some of New York’s most popular locations, including New York Botanical Garden, Washington Square Park, Times Square, and more. 

In this podcast, registered nurse Barbara Glickstein speaks with Naomi Goldberg Haas about the importance of movement and dance, and how Dances for a Variable Population has impacted the lives of so many adults.

This interview first aired on HealthCetera in the Catskills, on WIOX Radio, on October 20th, 2021.
