Description
Are you interested in learning to dance or in improving your dance skills? Do you have Parkinson’s? This class is perfect for you! Based on Dance for PD® theory and practice, this free class is designed for people with Parkinson’s at any stage, and with any level of dance experience (including none). Studies have found that dance is very beneficial to people with Parkinson’s, especially because it addresses different physical and cognitive symptoms from those current drugs target. Dance improves balance, gait, mobility and quality of life by maximizing brain stimulation through music, creativity and unique movement. However, the focus of this class will be to help participants grow as dancers, rather than to improve on therapeutic goals. Meet new people, have fun and learn professional repertoire from the Mark Morris Dance Group! Caregivers and partners are welcome to participate, as well. This class is sponsored by The Advocates of Upstate. Note: If you can attend only one class per week, feel free to register for the class anyway! No class: 7/5.
