About Dancing Through Parkinson’s®
Dancing Through Parkinson’s (DTP) began in 2011, dedicated to the exuberant motto, “Dance is for everybody and every body!” With live classes and virtual programming, classes are designed specifically to aid people living with Parkinson’s and other neurodegenerative, mobility, and age-related conditions through a unique sequencing of different forms of movement, music and storytelling.
Classes are suitable for all bodies, mobility levels and ages.
Find Community
DTP is a versatile program that builds hope, community, and well-being through the joy of dance!
Our teaching artists are dance professionals, along with our co-founder Linda Berghoff, a dancer with Parkinson’s. All of our TA’s are trained in PD-specialized movement techniques. We’re a joyful group of creatives ready to make you smile with dance & community connection!
About Brain & Balance: Evidence-Based Dance
Brain & Balance is an evidence-based dance class designed to promote cognitive and physical health with artistry. Through movement, we are able to address common symptoms of aging and neurological conditions that affect the body’s physical and emotional state. Our classes offer a necessary community; a safe space for functional movement, creativity & camaraderie. Experience the scientific and social emotional benefits of movement in one of our weekly classes!
Move Confidently
Brain & Balance is presented by Dancing Through Parkinson’s (DTP), the program from which it originates. The varying symptoms of Parkinson’s apply to much of the aging population. Prioritizing brain and physical health as we age is a universal need. Brain & Balance takes neuro-specialized strategies from DTP 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.
