Dance for Parkinson's classes offer dance, music and community in a safe and creative environment.
Taught by professional dancers trained through the Dance for PD® program and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, classes explore refreshing and stimulating movement that improves and encourages strength, coordination, balance and grace – all while having fun!
Participants may choose to be seated or standing throughout the class, all mobility aids welcome. No dance experience or diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease or MS is required to participate. Classes can also benefit folks with other neuromuscular or neurodegenerative considerations, balance issues, in recovery from injury or seeking a welcoming path into movement.
Your lead teacher is Corrie Befort, with 15 years experience teaching Dance for PD® classes, and other inclusive movement forms. She is also an internationally performing dancer/choreographer, intermedia artist and bassist with local band The Chelseas.
