Dance with Parkinson's Gloucestershire Dedicated to helping those living with Parkinson’s to manage symptoms through uplifting dance routines and exercises.

For anyone wondering what actually happens in one of Sarah's dance classes, take a look at the following clip. It's a very welcoming environment and sessions can be adapted to both standing or seated formats depending on ability and sometimes just how you feel on the day. Classes are fun, uplifting and will help strengthen elements that Parkinson's can affect - mobility, balance, confidence and fluidity of movement. It's a lovely way to keep moving, connect with others and feel good! No experience or partner required - though you can bring a friend if you'd like to (for free!)

Great news this term is that Sarah has received funding from The National Lottery Community Fund recognising the importance of her classes to those living with Parkinsons in the local community. Thank you to all those who buy tickets allowing these grants to be made!

Classes will therefore continue on a weekly basis in both Winchcombe and Tewkesbury as follows:
Mondays 2pm - 3.30pm at Abbey Fields Community Centre, Back Lane, Winchcombe GL54 5QH
Tuesdays 11am - 12.30pm at Priors Park Community Church, Queens Road, Tewkesbury GL20 5EY
