“Donna Newman-Bluestein has brought movement, music and joy to the JF&CS Memory Café many times. Her style is attuned to the participants, so she is flexible and focuses in on the music and movements that spark their engagement. She creates a sense of openness and curiosity, even for those who might feel hesitant at first. She works this magic through virtual programs as well as in person.”
