ADAPTIVE DANCE
At Grand Rapids Ballet School, we embrace the healing power of dance. Our “Moving with Parkinson’s” program is dedicated to individuals with Parkinson’s disease, providing an inclusive environment where participants of all abilities can enjoy the joy of dance. These classes foster a supportive community, encouraging camaraderie and connection among participants.
We also take the power of dance to our community through partnerships with schools throughout Grand Rapids and West Michigan with Dance Immersion and Escape to the Ballet.
Classes are held at our Meijer-Royce Center for Dance as well as at satellite locations throughout West Michigan. Specific details regarding schedule and location information can be found below.
Moving with Parkinson’s
Moving with Parkinson’s is a dance therapy class made specifically for people with Parkinson’s Disease, geared towards mobility. GRBS is proud to continue to partner with the Parkinson’s Association of West Michigan to offer free weekly classes throughout the year for adults in the West Michigan community with Parkinson’s Disease. We offer classes at our Grand Rapids facilities as well as satellite classes in Holland. Moving with Parkinson’s dancers enjoy spending time in a supportive community, focusing on holistic and restorative movement.
