Welcome to part two of our four-part series on the arts and Parkinson’s disease. If you haven’t listened to part one, you can definitely listen to this one but I encourage you to listen to part 1 on photography and hearing from our guest, Torrance York, who spoke passionately about photography and how it helps her gain perspective on her journey with Parkinson’s.

In this episode, I am thrilled to have Pat Beilman as my guest to discuss dancing and it’s benefits for PwP and others. Dancing can help with your coordination, balance, core strength and posture. It also provides a way to interact with others avoiding isolation. It can help build your confidence in walking. And, it can bring some joy into your life. There is an actual dance program just for people with Parkinson's disease called Dance for PD.  If any of this resonates with you, keep listening.
