Dance for Parkinson’s Disease

Instructor Elizabeth Spatz and George Mason University Assistant Professor Shaun D’Arcy will discuss Mark Morris Dance Group’s researched-backed Dance for PD® program. These uplifting movement-based classes offer physical benefits and help to reduce social isolation commonly associated with this neurological disease. Spatz and D’Arcy, both faculty at Mason’s School of Dance, believe in dance’s power to build community and inspire joy through movement. They will offer a taste of what participants experience in a typical Dance for PD class and provide information about in-person programs being offered locally including those held at George Mason University’s Fairfax campus.

Speakers: Shaun D’Arcy and Elizabeth Spatz
