Get Your Groove On and Try Something New!

Everyone at every age and with all levels of experience (or none at all) is invited to experience the joy that comes from dancing in a Dance Wise for Parkinson's class! ​

Not sure about trying something new? Worry that you'll feel uncomfortable or look silly when you try?

It's true, trying something new can feel scary. But how do you grow and change if you always stick with what you already know? Trying new things expands your capacity to view the world around you from a new perspective and appreciate life in new and exciting ways.

So, let's do this! 

​It's all about being willing to walk into the unknown...together!

"It lifts my spirit. The music, the movement, the sharing, the teacher is inspiring and invigorating." ~DWP Dancer

Think about how you begin to learn any new skill. It takes time, repetition and a clear vocabulary that informs the “how” while a skilled instructor demonstrates and guides. This holds true for dancers starting out at any age and level of mobility or coordination. With an open mind, a few bobbles, and loads of joyful explorations to expand the mind and body, within a few classes, a studio full of dancers emerges!

Just imagine a beginning piano student attempting to create a complete piano piece without first acquiring a working knowledge of notes, harmony, and rhythm. Or a computer programmer attempting to write instructions that a computer will understand without a thorough understanding of the language of code. Although dance is the most natural form of expression for humans (it was your first mode of human communication as an infant!), learning and becoming a comfortable and confident creative dancer takes a little time, novel repetition of guided dance explorations, a structured learning environment, and a vocabulary upon which the steps and skills are built.

And here’s the really exciting news...we have a brand new class in Clarksville, IN where a new group of Dance Wise for Parkinson’s dancers will be growing from the ground up starting this fall. As the leaves fall from the trees to prepare for winter, we’ll be planting the seeds to grow our dance skills and finding our artistic voice one class at a time. 

In fact, we're holding a special open house so you can try out a Dance Wise for Parkinson's class, tour the gym, see and try out the many other martial arts offerings available for your entire family. Every class participant will go into a drawing for a FREE membership! Mark your calendar, invite a friend, and plan to attend!
