In 2015, the New Orleans Musicians’ Assistance Foundation (NOMAF) launched the Dancer Wellness Program in partnership with the Performing Arts Medicine Association (PAMA) to ensure the health and safety of performing dancers and paraders in New Orleans.
NOMAF wanted to provide local performers (especially burlesque dancers, parading dancers, African dancers and marching band members) with preventive health care education through monthly wellness workshops addressing health and injury topics specific to dancer’s needs. Through the New Orleans Musicians’ Clinic, we provided specialized care and one-on-one treatments with a dance athletic trainer.
- Created for patients of the NOMC
- Provided Dancer Wellness workshops. Monthly dancer wellness workshops and events addressed health and injury topics specific to performer’s needs. Open to dancers across disciplines.

“Performing artists are the soul of New Orleans, and we want people to know we’re here to take care of them.”
