Dance for Parkinson's Disease

IU Contemporary Dance partners with Dance for Parkinson's Disease

The partnership between the IU Contemporary Dance Department and the Bloomington chapter of Dance for Parkinson’s Disease® offers a unique opportunity for collaboration between Contemporary Dance students and members of the Bloomington community. The program and instructors inspire people with Parkinson’s—and those close to them—to experience the grace, fluidity, and joy of dance.
