Dance practitioners will gain an overview of the effects of the condition on dance participants, learn how to ensure safety for all participants and benefit from the practical experience of devising and delivering content for a Dance for Parkinson’s class.

Course leaders: Dr. Sophia Hulbert and visiting artists from English National Ballet.

Course participants must have successfully completed the Dance for Parkinson’s online learning programme assessment before taking part in the course. Access to the learning programme is included in the course fee.
