Moving with Parkinson's - Dance Class

Join our Moving with Parkinson's Dance Class, a unique and uplifting program designed to encourage movement, activity, and connection for individuals living with Parkinson’s disease. Led by Jackie Unwin, a DanceSport Australia Accredited Coach, this class incorporates elements of ballroom dancing to create a fun, engaging, and supportive environment.

Under Jackie's expert guidance, you’ll explore the beauty of ballroom dancing in a welcoming environment tailored to the needs of those with Parkinson’s. The classes are designed to be accessible, inclusive, and enjoyable, with no prior dance experience needed.

This class is more than just dance – it’s a holistic approach to improving quality of life. Benefits include:

• Improved Movement: The rhythmic and structured movements of dance help enhance balance, strength, endurance, and coordination, which are essential for managing Parkinson’s symptoms.

• Social Connection: Engage with a supportive community, fostering friendships and reducing feelings of isolation through shared experiences and joyful movement.

• Cognitive Benefits: Learning dance steps and sequences stimulates the brain, supporting cognitive function, memory, and mental agility in a fun and creative way.
