Dance for PD®: Mark Morris Dance for People with Parkinson’s

June 13

Zoom and In-person classes available in Middletown, New London and Branford.

NMS is proud to be the Connecticut affiliate of Dance for PD®, the award-winning, internationally-acclaimed program of The Mark Morris Dance Group. Dance for PD offers dance classes for people with Parkinson’s disease and related neurological disorders through its network of partners and affiliates in more than 300 communities in 25 countries.

COME DANCE WITH US! In Dance for PD® classes, people are empowered to explore movement and music in ways that are refreshing, enjoyable, stimulating, and creative. Dance for PD® focuses on developing artistry and grace while addressing concerns specific to people with Parkinson’s and other neurological disorders, such as balance, flexibility, coordination, gait, social isolation, and depression.

Participants enjoy artistic and creative expression and the enjoyment of social interactions with others experiencing similar challenges. No dance experience is necessary and walkers, canes, and wheelchairs are welcome. (While many may experience health benefits or the alleviation of symptoms, it should be noted that this program is not intended to be a therapeutic offering.)  

Classes are held weekly and are open to people with any type of movement disorder, their companions, and visitors. Classes are free of charge and available for drop-in anytime.
