Dance for Parkinson’s Class Offered on Fridays, 12:30-1:45pm, Stanford, Free
The Dance for Parkinson’s class, held on Fridays 12:30-1:45pm, at Stanford is now free for those with Parkinson’s, family, friends, and caregivers, through a grant from the National Parkinson Foundation.
The class location has now changed to the new Stanford Neuroscience Health Center in the Wellness Center on the first floor.
The instructor, Damara Vita Ganley, is a professional dancer and trained with the Mark Mark Dance Group’s Dance for PD program. Using this method, professional dancers draw on their unique expertise to help people with Parkinson’s Disease and their caregivers engage sight, sound, touch, thought, and imagination to inspire movement and expression. Dancing in chairs, at a barre, or standing, experienced teaching artists lead participants in an enjoyable blend of modern dance, ballet, and social dancing. While strengthening, balancing, and moving in rhythm to live music, people with PD also experience the power of dance and music to sharpen attention, inspire, and empower.
