Dance For Parkinson's
Dance for Parkinson’s offers people with Parkinson’s, their carers and family members an artistic and engaging dance activity within the professional environment of English National Ballet. Saturday dance sessions in Kensington offer an insight into the way a production is put together with input from Company dancers and musicians and there is the added opportunity to see English National Ballet performances.
Overview
English National Ballet is expanding its Dance for Parkinson’s programme nationally over three years creating more opportunities for regular dance and cultural activities for people with Parkinson’s. Pilot programmes will be delivered in partnership with our hub partners from 2012 and include Pavilion Dance in Bournemouth - Dance South West; Merseyside Dance Initiative in Liverpool; and South East Dance Studios – South East Dance.
"The ballet did make me urgently want to move more, and move better and hinted at how this might be possible."
"Dancing like this is helping me to get Mr Parkinson's out of the driving seat of my life."
"it is a special experience you offer people with Parkinson’s and their carers and I hope that many more people in this area will be able to experience this in the future"
