Rigorous dance classes led by trained professional teaching artists for people with Parkinson's disease.

Why dance?  For people with Parkinson's disease, rigorous dance classes led by trained professional teaching artists are becoming internationally acknowledged as an important, beneficial and welcome addition to the portfolio of recognised movement-based therapeutic interventions that are supported by published research. By approaching movement as dance students, not as patients, people with Parkinson’s can focus on PD-specific concerns like mobility, balance, rhythm and flexibility in an enjoyable, social and communal environment.

Dance classes create an environment emphasising expression, creativity, engagement and positive relationship building. Dance is a unique vehicle, naturally combining multiple approaches to foster exercise, confidence building and an improved quality of life. Beyond the benefits of exercise, dance offers social and emotional interactions, which may increase the quality of life, access to movement, and participation for the members of the PD community.

Classes held fortnightly on a Tuesday.
