Our mission at Martha Waugh is to enhance the accessibility and effectiveness of dance for health programs through innovative research and tailored initiatives across diverse age groups and settings.
My journey as a PhD candidate at WSU School of Health Sciences researching the health benefits of arts activities started with a deep passion for dance and its positive impact on wellbeing.
We envision a future where dance becomes a widely embraced and evidence-based method for improving physical and mental wellbeing, fostering connections, and enriching lives.
Honored to receive recognition for contributions to advancing the understanding and implementation of dance programs for health improvement, ensuring quality and inclusivity.
