In 2022, National Dance Company Wales was awarded a grant to support a project called Dance for Parkinson’s. Weekly movement sessions led by a dance practitioner and a musician were followed by a chance to socialise over tea.
The project offered a creative space for people with Parkinson’s to explore their movement capabilities, make friends, and find both confidence and empowerment through dance. One attendee described the sessions as “socially so good and inclusive and really beneficial for my limbs and coordination.”
