Dance and Parkinsons

Hi out there!  So I just recently completed a workshop called
Dance for Parkinsons Disease at the Mark Morris Dance Center in Brooklyn NYC.  This is an exciting new concept for people struggling with PD.  PBS News Hour just did a special on it -I HIGHLY recommend you watch it! www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/health/july-dec10/parkinson_12-09.html.
My friend teaches dance movement to people who have other challenges- like Cerebral Palsy- and she found an overwhelming similar experience with her students.

I am starting my own classes and working with my dad, who also has the disease,  in order to get his personal feedback on how I can create a great class.  I believe this will be an inspiration for others with neuro-degenerative diseases such as MS, CP and stroke victims etc.  It may mean classes will vary depending on what each condition brings forth, but I hope that dance can be used universally to promote healing.
