Dance for PD® at Jacob’s Pillow

A Program of the Mark Morris Dance Group

Sunday, July 21, 2019 | 11:45am-1pm

A free movement class for persons with Parkinson’s, their families, friends, and care partners. In Dance for PD® classes, participants explore movement and music in ways that are enjoyable, stimulating, and creative.

This award-winning, research-backed global program is appropriate for anyone with PD, at all levels of ability and mobility. No dance experience is required. In chairs, at a barre or moving across the floor, you will explore elements of modern dance, ballet, creative improvisation, tap, social dancing, and Mark Morris company repertory in a non-pressured, social environment in which live music energizes, enriches, and empowers.

Classes modeled after Dance for PD® are available in more than 300 communities in 25 countries around the world. Taught by Dance for PD founding teacher David Leventhal from the Mark Morris Dance Group. No experience necessary. For more information about Dance for PD® visit danceforparkinsons.org.

“The music and movement started. I was filled with great joy. I was able to take the whole class and walked out feeling accomplished. I saw the endless possibilities.”
