Dance for Parkinson's Weekend
A weekend of dancing, inspiration and knowledge sharing for persons with Parkinson's disease, in collaboration with Folkuniversitetet. The tempo and movements are designed for the workshop participants in line with a method created by Mark Morris Dance Group in New York, USA. No previous dance experience is required.
Dance for Parkinson's is based on the idea of giving everyone the opportunity to experience an artistic expression such as dance. To explore and participate in dance classes under the guidance of professional dancers.
This weekend in June consists of two fun days filled with music, workshops, dance classes, voice care and lectures.
