Calendar of Events

The University of Florida School of Theatre and Dance and the Center for the Arts in Medicine will host a special Dance for PD training workshop, designed and developed by the Mark Morris Dance Group and Brooklyn Parkinson Group, for dance teachers and movement practitioners.

The two-and-a-half day program is designed to help dance and yoga teachers adapt what they already know so that they can work effectively and comfortably with the Parkinson's population, replicating a class model that started at the Mark Morris Dance Group in Brooklyn, NY. The workshop will also expose other movement practitioners to Dance for PD® Best Practices so that they might incorporate components of the program into their own work.

If you would like additional information about the workshop please contact Jill Sonke at jsonke@ufl.edu

Part of the Mark Morris Dance for PD workshop includes this free dance class for community members living with PD (patients, family members, anyone with interest).
