Free Dance for Parkinson’s classes are sponsored by Spectrum Dance Theater, Seattle Theater Group and the Booth Gardner Parkinson’s Care Center at Evergreen Hospital Medical Center. The sessions run from 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Saturdays, Sept. 25-Nov.20 (eight weeks, no class on Nov. 6) in the Peter Kirk Center in downtown Kirkland.

Dance for Parkinson’s is a program developed by the Mark Morris Dance Group and Brooklyn Parkinson’s Group. The sessions focus on stretching and strengthening muscles and improving balance. Limited motor skills don’t matter – participants learn how just moving their eyes, listening and playing can improve their body control.

Class size is limited and pre-registration is required. Call the Evergreen Healthline at (425) 899-3000 between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Monday through Friday or register online 24/7 at www.evergreenhospital.org/classes.
