Moving With Parkinson's

03/08/2025

We have had a few changes over the last 6 months - the biggest change being the location of our very successful dance class. Working together with the Peninsula Parkinson's Peer Support Group and the wonderful team at Mornington Community House, the dance classes have been running now since April, and everyone is having a ball.

You can join at any time, you don't need a partner and all dances are adapted to suit your abilities. Don't let the cold stop you. The dancing will definitely warm you all up! The motto is that everyone should be dancing.

➡️ For more information - please see below for contact details, or you can post in the comments.

We look forward to meeting you soon 💙

Good morning everyone. Please note that due to wild weather today we would rather not have you out on the road. Dance class is being postponed for today and we will resume next week at 10.30am 💙

It’s been a while between posts. The studio had a rebrand back in December 2021 and finally this beautiful program has made its return. Running every Wednesday we hope that you can join us. NDIS invoicing can be organised too. Click through to the studio post for all the information 💚

✨The magic of dance and music shines through this program. We can’t begin to describe the looks on participants faces when they start dancing 💚
It’s also not only about dancing. It’s about the social connection of being out with others enjoying a fun and rewarding activity.

“Jackie is an extremely patient, encouraging and kind dance teacher. I enjoy myself very much in these classes and look forward to moving my body in new ways each week. It has helped me with movement and stability. I am very grateful to Jackie for giving people with Parkinson’s the opportunity to move our bodies, while having some fun. Loretta x”

We truly believe that everyone should be able to have the opportunity to dance. We look forward to meeting you soon 💚

Spending every Wednesday with these beautiful people (4 couples are missing) from our Moving With Parkinson’s program has just been wonderful. It is nothing short of a humbling and inspiring afternoon. We feel so very privileged to be a part of their lives every Wednesday. Thank you Maria Speranza for coming in every week to help out. The class will be resuming on Wednesday 17th January, 2018 in the new time slot of 11am-12.30pm and will also include refreshments. Please call the studio on (03)9773 9773 for any questions you may have regarding this program. ❤️🎅🏻🌲

Introuducing Val and Jim who attend our weekly dance class on a Wednesday. For them, our program is a chance to get out of the house, get mobile, socialise and dance and they love it. If you know anybody, individuals or couples that would like to attend our very unique and beautiful dance program, please give the studio a call on (03)9773 9773

Opening our doors every Wednesday is just an absolute pleasure. Seeing the delight on the faces of those who come each week is so rewarding. We also would like to invite couples or individuals that want help with better mobility and motor function and our social atmosphere is welcoming and friendly - not just people with Parkinson's - hence the name change. The power, therapy and enjoyment that music provides is truly remarkable. Our program is unique and not ballet based like some other specialist programs. Please share :) Any questions, please don't hesitate to call the studio.
