Dance for PD

Hi all, yesterday I started a "dance for pd" class, a regular program of the Mark Morris dance company. What an upper! The irony is, I covered just such a class when I was a staff reporter. And now here I am in one, something I never would have anticipated. So, something new to add to the exercise landscape. Has anyone else participated in these?

Yes, I have attended two sessions. The dance steps are beneficial and make you raise consciousness to movement. It is comforting to see so many people in my boat and a little scary to see those with disabilities. Overall very beneficial and enjoyable.

This is the most wonderful class. I've been going for over a year and do anything I can to not miss a session. The teachers are exceedingly well trained and caring. It's a support group for your body, cognition and emotions. Enjoy.

I would recommend them they are fantastic and there is no shame in making mistakes you just do what you can . it also gets you out if the house and meet people.

The most staggering thing you notice that everyone is different no two set of symptoms seem to be the same

Not what you're looking for?
