It is Movement Monday, and this week we are spotlighting Dance for PD! 💃💜

Dance for PD is a program that offers dance classes specifically designed for people living with Parkinson's disease. Founded in 2001 through a partnership between the Mark Morris Dance Group and the Brooklyn Parkinson Group, the program has grown into a worldwide community with classes available in person and online.

Dance for PD classes focus on movement, rhythm, and expression in a welcoming, joyful environment. Participants explore balance, coordination, and mobility through dance, all while connecting with others who understand the journey.

It is Movement Monday, and today we are bringing the movement to you! 🪑💜

For those living with Parkinson's, staying active does not always mean hitting the gym. Seated exercises are a safe, accessible way to keep the body moving, build strength, and support balance, all from the comfort of a chair.

Here are a few simple moves to try right now:
🙌 Arm Raises: Slowly lift both arms overhead and lower them back down.
🦵 Seated Leg Lifts: Extend one leg at a time and hold for a few seconds.
🔄 Ankle Circles: Rotate each ankle in slow circles to keep joints loose.
🤸 Torso Twists: Gently rotate your upper body side to side.
👐 Hand Squeezes: Open and close your hands to keep grip strength up.

Always check with a doctor or physical therapist before starting a new exercise routine. And remember, every little bit counts! 💪
