Dance For Parkinson's

Dance for Parkinson’s classes are movement and exercise classes, lead by trained dancers and live musicians. They are for people living with Parkinson’s, their carers and families. Classes are open to all, no previous experience is required. Exercises – which are all adaptable to individual needs – are designed to support flexibility, gait and balance and to encourage fluid movement. The classes also include some voice exercises/singing and finish with socialising, where you can enjoy tea and a blether.

Classes take place on Wednesdays from 11:30 – 13:30

Autumn Term dates: Wednesdays 6 September – Wednesday 13 December

This term, our class will be collaborating with a filmmaker alongside the team, to create a short film together. Everyone is welcome to take part, and you are still able to join the class if you don’t want to be part of the film.

First class is free, £5 per class thereafter.
