New Year, New (Dance) Inspiration

For many of us, dance is a source of inspiration—physical, mental, emotional, expressive or otherwise. As seen in this heartwarming video, 
dance is a life-changing source of inspiration 
for 
Philip Martin-Nelson
. As a boy, he was diagnosed with the most severe form of autism (and told he’d never be self-sufficient). But now, he’s a principal dancer with Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo. Martin-Nelson credits ballet class with freeing him and enabling him to live a life of his own. See Martin-Nelson and the rest of the Trocks at the 
Joyce Theater
, now through
