“I can sum up Pamela Quinn’s presentation in one word: “Magical!”. I looked up from where I was sitting and participating to see the entire room, 185 people with Parkinson’s and their Care Partners in perfect unison. It was like watching a beautiful ballet or a champion synchronized swimming team. Even more impressive was the fact that none of these people had ever participated in this session before.”
-James Trussell, Chief Volunteer Officer (Georgia Parkinson’s Association)National Parkinson Foundation/Georgia Chapter Georgia State CongressionalCoordinator)
“Pam is among the most charismatic and iconic figure in the Parkinson community. She is an artist and a dancer who has transformed her own experience of living with Parkinson’s into an exploration of the ability of the body to use creativity, dance and music to create ground-breaking dance and movements. Pam’s classes energize and create a fun, affirming and therapeutic environment that have benefited the body and the mind of countless people with Parkinson’s.”
-Alessandro Di Rocco, MD, Professor of Neurology NYU School of Medicine
“I wish I had met Pam Quinn sooner! She is an amazing person, dancer and teacher. The insight and knowledge she shared at our conference was not only helpful, but also inspiring. Through the use of music and dance, she gives individuals with PD a way to manage their disease with both grace and strength.”
