The image shows a joyful moment in a dance class, where a man and woman are smiling at each other while participating in a partnered exercise. They are facing each other, lightly touching their hands together as part of the dance activity. The scene takes place in a well-lit room, with other participants visible in the background. The atmosphere is one of warmth, connection, and enjoyment, reflecting the social and physical benefits of dance classes for individuals with Parkinson's.

Dance for Parkinson’s Classes

Class
Tue 3 September - Wed 11 December 2024
See dates & venues

Supporting people with Parkinson’s through dance.

Experience the joy of dancing to live music, socialising and meeting new people, seeing dance performances, and enjoy unique opportunities to meet creatives and world renowned guest artists.

The components of the dance class, the artistic freedom and the social aspect of ENB’s Dance for Parkinson’s can help with managing daily living with Parkinson’s. Dancing can enhance fluidity of movement, develop postural stability, flexibility of the spine and improve balance. The use of rhythm and voice can help with cueing movement and expression.

English National Ballet’s Dance for Parkinson’s programme takes place regionally in partnership with hub partners and affiliated hub partners across the UK. Classes welcome people living with Parkinson’s, along with their families, loved ones and carers.

For further information about the programme and to book a space in the classes, please contact your nearest hub directly.
