Dance for Parkinson’s: Online National Offer

Book your space now for our Dance for Parkinson’s classes held online, and open to anyone living with Parkinson’s, their families and carers in the United Kingdom.

Step into the studio with English National Ballet’s Dance for Parkinson’s programme this autumn, and immerse yourself in the joy of dance.

We begin the term by exploring Martha Graham’s Errand into the Maze. This rarely performed duet based on the raw drama of Greek mythology follows Theseus’ journey into the labyrinth to confront the Minotaur; half man, half beast. Known as the mother of modern dance, Martha Graham changed the artform forever, becoming one of the greatest artists of the 20th century.

As an extra bonus, we will explore a second production as the festive season approaches; the “vibrant” (Financial Times) and “astoundingly pretty” (The London Standard) world of Nutcracker. Choreographed by English National Ballet’s Artistic Director, Aaron S. Watkin, and Olivier Award-winner Arielle Smith, this classic festive ballet brings magic to the stage with exquisite dancing, an iconic score and spectacular sets and costumes designed by Dick Bird.

For more information on both of these productions, please visit our what’s on page.
