DANCE FOR PARKINSON'S EXETER

Dance for people with Parkinson's was developed by Olie Westheimer in Brooklyn, New York in 2002 with the Mark Morris dance company. David Leventhal, (one of the dancers in the Mark Morris company) has been very involved with the programme, and has since collaborated with the English National Ballet (ENB). In 2010 ENB developed a Dance for Parkinson's programme in London. Since then ENB have developed a national programme and courses for dance leaders and health professionals, and have researched the model of dance for Parkinson's with Roehampton University. A network has been developed, (Dance for Parkinson's Partnership UK) - the aim is for every person who has Parkinson's to have access to a high quality dance class in their locality... These classes are for people living with Parkinson's and their partners / carers / friends. They are for any age, and any ability. You don't need to have ever danced before! We use a variety of music and dance styles. We always start the warm-up..
