Description: About the class
Our classes are based on the innovative Dance for PDsm program designed by the Mark Morris Dance Group and the Brooklyn Parkinson Group. Using this method, professional dancers draw on their unique expertise to help people with Parkinson's Disease and their caregivers engage sight, sound, touch, thought, and imagination to bring control to their movements. Dancing in chairs, at a barre, or standing, experienced Bay Area teaching artists will lead participants in an enjoyable blend of modern dance, ballet, tap, jazz, and social dancing. While strengthening, balancing and moving in rhythm to live music, people with PD also experience the power of dance and music to sharpen attention, inspire, and empower.
These classes are appropriate for anyone with PD, no matter how advanced.
No dance experience is required.
