Parkinson’s – Let’s Dance!
The NHS in the South West is backing the “Let’s Dance” campaign, encouraging people living with Parkinson’s (who feel able) to take part in dancing to support their physical and mental wellbeing.
Dance is a powerful, enjoyable form of movement that can:
- Improve balance, mobility, coordination, and confidence
- Support brain health and reduce symptoms like freezing
- Boost mood, social connection and overall wellbeing
Dance is an accessible, adaptable option, suitable for different stages of Parkinson’s. As part of Parkinson’s management, dance brings together strength, balance, rhythm, social connection, and supports both physical and cognitive health.
(If you’re unsure if Dance is for you, please consult with your specialist care team who will be able to advise you).
