Term Dates
20th January – 24th February 2022
Working in Partnership with English National Ballet, we have been delivering Dance for Parkinson’s workshops in Liverpool since 2012.
Dance for Parkinson’s is a welcoming class that introduces gentle and joyful movement to live music, through the repertory performance work of English National Ballet.
It provides a fun and informal way for participants to discover the themes, choreography and music of performance, with opportunities to attend exclusive behind-the-scenes events and see the Company perform.
The classes encompass movement, music and voice work, with a social focus aiming to support the management of living with Parkinson’s. Dance can improve the fluidity of movement, improve posture and inspire creativity in and awareness of movement. Rhythm can encourage cueing actions and singing aims to build strength in the voice and facial expression.
In the current climate, our classes are currently taking place online, with the wonderful Digital Dance Season as our inspiration for the term
No dance or ballet experience is required. Friends and/or family are welcome to join Classes are £3.50 per person or a 6-Week term card is available for £19.00. Classes are delivered by Jennie Hale.

If you are practicing yoga or pilates please back out of any postures that bring you pain or discomfort, take a rest and come back to the class when you are ready. Your teacher will give you any additional instructions or advice at the start of your Zoom.
