ZEST: Dance for Wellbeing
ZEST: Dance for Wellbeing
Dance for People with Parkinson’s
11.15am – 12.30pm Wednesdays
ZEST: Dance for Wellbeing classes are designed for adults who want to keep their body and brain active and healthy, regardless of their mobility, skill or age. Please come and feed your body and spirit with music and movement, be physically and mentally inspired and stimulated, have fun, meet some new friends and feel good! We dance while sitting on a chair, with options to stand and travel. No previous dance experience is necessary.
These classes are taught by two teaching artists, which means we can offer participants more seated and standing options.
Dance is a unique vehicle, naturally combining multiple approaches to movement and exercise, building confidence and an improved quality of life.
Suitable for people who experience Parkinson’s disease, chronic pain, arthritis, repetitive strain injury, chronic fatigue, multiple sclerosis and other conditions.
