Bebe Neuwirth and The Dancers' Resource Program to Host Dancer Day of Health

Bebe Neuwirth and The Dancers’ Resource program will host Dancer Day of Health—a free event dedicated to the health and wellness of dancers—on Monday, November 11. Whether you are part of a ballet or contemporary company, perform on a Broadway stage or dance on the sets of television shows and movies, join the Fund for a day of health and wellness.
 
The event will provide a variety of wellness offerings including one-on-one foot and ankle wellness consultations with Dr. Louis Galli, DPM, from The Samuel J. Friedman Health Center for the Performing Arts; one-on-one consultations with Dietitian Rebecca Alcosser, RD, CDN, specializing in nutrition for dancers; Cross-Training for Dancers led by Ella Otto, from Harkness Center for Dance Injuries; Mindfulness Meditation co-led by Ross Rayburn and NYC Ballet Principal Dancer Sarah Mearns; Karine Plantadit’s unique movement class influenced by Zulu dance and guided by Afro-House music; and free flu vaccines. Breakfast and lunch will be provided.
 
Bebe Neuwirth founded The Dancers’ Resource to help address response to the unique situation dancers face as a consequence of the physically demanding nature of their work, coupled with the significant financial challenges of earning a living in dance.
 
The event will take place on Monday, November 11 from 10:30 am–4:30 pm ET at New York City Center, Studio 5 (130 W 56th St). Early registration is available through the Entertainment Community Fund’s Portal. To register, please create an account or log in to your existing account at portal.entertainmentcommunity.org. Dancers are also able to join day-of for sessions as they’re able; walk-ins welcome.
