ABOUT DANCES FOR A VARIABLE POPULATION

Founded in 2009 by former professional dancer Naomi Goldberg Haas, Dances for a Variable Population (DVP)’s mission is to promote strong and creative movement among older adults of all abilities, enabling them to build creativity, improve their mental and physical health, strengthen social connections, and enhance quality of life.
