INVERTIGO THEATRE'S "DANCING THROUGH PARKINSON'S"
Imagine a space where a diagnosis like Parkinson's is no longer a limitation. At Invertigo Theatre's "Dancing Through Parkinson's" they encourage all to dance in whatever way they can. This special program is for anyone with neurodegenerative, mobility, or age-related conditions. In this safe space, participants enjoy an hour of dance instruction from big-hearted and highly-trained Teaching Artists. The class is free and family members and caregivers are welcome too!
Note: While this program can't cure the disease, what they can do is promote physical health, mental health, and joyful community interaction. Some attendees have found it to improve their physical stability, balance, creativity, mental clarity, and overall well-being.
