At Rx Ballroom Dance, we believe that movement is more than exercise — it’s a lifeline. Laureen's story is proof of that.
Laureen has always loved to dance. The dance floor has always been her happy place — a space for connection, freedom, and pure joy. But when essential tremor and dystonia began to affect her body, simple movements became a challenge, and the future she imagined for herself started to slip away.
That’s when Laureen found Rx Ballroom Dance — and hope came rushing back.
Through the program, Laureen has reignited her love of dance and discovered a new way to fight back against her diagnosis. She isn’t just following steps; she’s pushing herself further than ever by learning to lead — a bold decision that challenges her brain, her body, and her spirit in ways she never thought possible.
“Learning to lead keeps me thinking, keeps me moving, and reminds me that I’m still growing,” Laureen shared.
This Saturday, Laureen will take the stage at the Defying Limits Gala, not just as a dancer — but as a symbol of what it means to refuse to let a diagnosis define you.
But she can't do it without you.
Every ticket purchased, every donation made, helps ensure that people like Laureen have a place to fight for their strength, find their community, and rediscover their dreams through dance.
Please don’t wait. Join us for a night that will move your heart and change lives.
👉 Purchase your ticket or make a donation today — and stand with Laureen and so many others who continue to defy the limits, one step at a time.

Honestly, I was skeptical at first, but within a few months of starting the treatment, I began to notice real changes. My energy improved, the discomfort eased, and I felt stronger and more capable in my daily life. Incredibly, I also regained much of my stamina, balance, and confidence. It’s been a life-changing experience I feel more…
