Dance For People With Parkinson’s Disease And Other Neurological Disorders

When: Mondays: 10:45am - 11:45am (April 1st - June 3rd, 10 classes)

Instructor: Pam Kuntz - Artistic Director, Kuntz & Company/Faculty, WWU Dance
Accompanied by Eric Chappelle

No experience is necessary, and all are welcome. The class is designed for people with Parkinson’s Disease and other neurological disorders, but caregivers are invited to join in. The goal of this class is to create community and experience joy through movement. Class structure follows that of a traditional modern dance class including warm-up, center, and barre work, and culminates in a final combination. Much of class is seated work with a portion towards the end geared towards standing. Students are invited and expected to adjust as needed.

Note: Pam Kuntz and Rick Hermann (a community member with PD) created this class over 10 years ago and it enjoyed much success over the years. Kuntz is excited to bring it back to our community this year.

Thanks to the generous support from the Northwest Parkinson’s Foundation this class is free for attendees. Individuals with the means are invited to donate to Northwest Parkinson’s Foundation to help them support programs such as these.
