Taught by Ballet Arizona’s own Debbie Braganza, these classes address symptom-specific concerns related to balance, cognition, and motor skills which help to overcome depression. In each class, Debbie integrates movements from modern, ballet, tap, folk and social dancing to engage participants’ minds and create an enjoyable, social environment for artistic exploration.
Classes are appropriate for anyone with Parkinson’s disease, no matter how advanced. No dance experience is required. In chairs, at a barre or moving across the floor, participants explore elements of modern dance, ballet, tap, folk and social dancing.
