Today’s topic takes us to the intersection of dancing and Parkinson’s disease. Dancing isn’t just another exercise recommended for PWP. Dancing combines the intense workout of an aerobic exercise class with other classes focused on strength, flexibility and balance. Plus, it is set to music and fun.

So, channel your inner Fred Astaire and keep listening to this episode to find out more from a PD dance instructor and student.
