Dance and timeless stories… ..

Dance and Parkinson’s Norwich was established by Rachel Canavan in 2011, it is re-growing its roots at Copperdot Studio. The Class is a structured dance class that addresses balance, strength, mobility, to prevent falls and increase confidence.  The class is taught by Rachel who has taught this population for over 12 years.  Rachel teaches this class as a dance practitioner, she is also a Physiotherapist, Clinical Pilates Instructor and Postural Stability Instructor.   For this particular class you will need to be able to sit and stand up from a chair, and walk independently around the studio.  This class is for individuals at an early stage of their presentation.  There will be other opportunities in the future for seated participation. You will need to contact Rachel at the studio email to discuss your participation. The class can also cater for some other neurological presentations and individual requirements can be discussed directly with Rachel.

With thanks to Rebecca Chapman of Total Ensemble, this incredible group will be presenting their first live performance as part of the Autumn Festival of Norfolk on Saturday the 7th of October 2023.
