Dance for Life

The mission of Arts in Medicine has always been to connect with the hospital community and beyond around the arts in health. Our teams are proud to present new ways of connection to those who have limited access to in-person engagements through virtual live-streaming, prerecorded classes and workshops, and other online resources.

The following classes are available via Zoom, a video conferencing platform that is free to use and allows our team to teach classes in real-time (click the class title for registration information):
