In 2018 we launched a Dancing with Parkinson’s programme across Leeds & Bradford; establishing 4 regular groups and a series of taster workshops throughout Yorkshire.
To date we have introduced over 250 people with Parkinson’s to dance and have engaged 75 regular participants per week in our groups across the region, which has had extremely positive health & wellbeing outcomes.
We now run 5 regular classes which are suitable for members with Parkinson’s. We are becoming a lovely community of dancers who attend regularly to exercise, have fun, support each other and to stay as mobile as possible to help prevent the progression of the disease.
