About the Program: Dancing Through Parkinson's (DTP) provides dance classes to people living with Parkinson's and other neurodegenerative, mobility, and age-related conditions. DTP takes neuro-specialized strategies and incorporates them into a movement class that benefits anyone looking for ways to boost cognitive care and mitigate physical symptoms of aging through creative & evidence-based practices. DTP is a versatile program that builds hope, community, and well-being through the joy of dance!
