Dancers in NYCThe article describes Strandberg's groundbreaking and highly successful work with the American Dance Legacy Initiative (ADLI) which exists to enable individuals to appreciate and participate in America’s rich dance heritage and recognize it as a cultural asset relevant to all.

The BAM covers ADLI's recent festival weekend in New York, centered around workshops and classes taught at the Lower East Side studios of Paul Taylor’s American Modern Dance Company. The weekend brought together Brown students, Brown alumni, students from a high school in Central Falls, Rhode Islanders with Parkinson’s disease, and professionals from the performing and teaching ensemble Dancing Legacy, directed by Strandberg’s daughter Laura Bennett ’92.
