Published April 21. 2021 7:53AM Emma Palzere-Rae, Special to The Times "Movement is necessary.” The statement jumps out on the David Dorfman Dance website homepage. David Dorfman, the internationally known dancer and artistic director of David Dorfman Dance who makes New London his home, has a theory about movement and creativity as a critical, healthful and healing part of daily life. Dorfman did not start out to be a dancer. Rather, dance found him. After graduating from business school, Dorfman, who had always been physically active with sports in school, took community dance classes to fill time after work. Dance hooked him. He decided to return to school, getting a masters in dance at Connecticut College. He then founded David Dorfman Dance in New York City in 1987 and toured internationally.
