These supportive, warm & welcoming sessions offer a place to meet others and engage in a fulfilling creative activity.

Live Well and Dance with Parkinson's online classes led by Midlands based dance artist, performer, choreographer and musician Kath Kimber-McTiffen.

These 'at home' online dance sessions can be taken seated throughout or seated and standing.

We will begin each session by exploring breath and gentle stretching to find length and space in the body then move into sequences to support coordination, balance and flow.

As we get to know each other over the weeks, we will explore story, imagination, our surroundings and our lives to build creative landscapes from which new dances will emerge.

Through dance, music, creativity and socialisation classes can support physical awareness and build confidence for everyday living.
