The Possibilities of Dance:

"Dance takes the mind and spirit away from thoughts of disease and disability."

PFNCA has partnered with several dance educators to offer Dance for Parkinson's, a potentially transformative experience to Parkinson patients. The primary goal is to move with grace—just for the sake of beauty, expression, and release.

When Parkinsonians step onto the dance floor, they become artists, giving and receiving the respect that flows naturally between people who create beauty together - and many of them find their PD symptoms go away for a while. This could happen for you.

We offer weekly dance classes in Silver Spring, MD, Arlington, VA, Fairfax, VA, and Alexandria, VA .
