Welcome to DAMMS411 where dance is life-giving therapy.
DAMMS 411 is excited to present an MS Panel Interview on World MS Day 05/30/26
Join us to experience an uplifting and motivational atmosphere as panel members share their passion for supporting others with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) through their personal stories.
Our main goal is to create a movement within the MS community, similar to a powerful tsunami wave that generates enough energy to help those with MS rise above limiting perceptions. In this community, we quickly learn that we cannot do it alone and must draw strength from one another.
May this movement grow so significantly that we can help lift our peers over the crest of the wave, allowing us all to enjoy a smoother and more enjoyable journey together.
