Dance for Parkinson's

Experience the joy of dance, live music and community as English National Ballet bring their ground-breaking Dance for Parkinson’s programme to Southampton this autumn, in partnership with Mayflower.
English National Ballet is the UK’s leading dance organisation delivering Dance for Parkinson’s PD-Ballet since 2010. Building on over 15 years of national development and ground-breaking research, the programme is now launching at Mayflower Studios.
Join us in a series of sessions and discover the transformative power of dance. Led by specialist Associate Dance Artists and Musicians, sessions combine seated and standing dance movements with vocal exercises. Inspired by the company’s iconic ballet and contemporary repertoire, sessions explore the themes, music and choreography directly from the stage. The programme invites you to experience the joy of dancing to live music, socialising, meeting new people and seeing dance performances.
No experience is necessary, and we encourage those who don’t usually dance to come and meet the team and give it a go! Classes welcome people living with Parkinson’s, along with their families, loved ones and carers.We encourage you to sign up for the full 5 weeks to experience the full magic of dancing with English National Ballet, however classes can be booked individually.
If you have any questions about the programme or this class, please email participation@mayflower.org.uk.
Bookings for our 10-week term starting on 13 January will open in November.
