2020 Parkinson's Dance Class - Full Moon

Try out your first Dance Wise for Parkinson's class for Free!

Experience how dancing together in our group inspires joy, hope and a confident body through dance! The program brings people with Parkinson’s, their care partners, spouses, family and friends together for an hour of dance which is not only a dynamic and enjoyable way to exercise, it is a powerful form of self-expression. Artistic Director and primary teaching artist Elena Diehl introduces movement from modern and theater dance, ballet, folk dance, tap, improvisation, and choreographic repertory in a safe, enjoyable and creative environment.

The emphasis in every Dance Wise for Parkinson’s class is to engage the participants' minds and bodies through novel creative dance explorations and to dance for the sake of gracefulness and enjoyment. Participants’ artistic expression is nurtured through an enjoyable, empowering approach and students learn to enhance their aesthetic awareness and grace while addressing PD-specific concerns such as balance, flexibility, coordination, gait, social isolation, and depression. 

Class cards are available for purchase directly at the studio for ongoing classes and you can also learn more about the Rock Steady program at Full Moon. Becoming involved in either or both programs is a wonderful way to come together with other people with Parkinson’s and keep your mind, body and spirit moving in weekly sessions!

Yes! Just let us know when you'd prefer to attend and we'll be there ready to groove!
