join us to dance together online and find connection within isolation
danielle teale dance is pleased to offer a Dancing with Parkinson’s weekly programme online from Monday 6 July
Danielle Teale and Jaka Skapin will collaborate to bring a special programme of weekly sessions for people with Parkinson’s online via Zoom. Starting Monday 6th July we will be offering two classes:
Mindful Monday Mornings, 10am
This class will be a gentle and mindful way to connect with your body, to feel more awakened in the morning, to stretch and mobilise the body, and gain a sense of fluidity and flow for the week ahead. The classes are based around live music and improvisation. All dancers will be encouraged to take part at their own pace.
Groovy Wednesday Lunchtimes, 2pm
This class will give you a mid-week boost, providing energy and fun, increasing endorphins and shifting your mindset to a positive outlook for the rest of the week ahead. The classes will encourage rhythmic and energised movement with live music and group connection. All dancers are recommended to take part at their own pace.

Classes will take place every Monday at 10am and Wednesday at 2pm for 8 weeks, beginning 6th July.

FAQs
What should I expect from the classes? Length, activity level, style etc…
The classes will initially be 40 minutes long each. Mindful Monday Morning classes will have a mindful and meditative feel with movement that focuses on fluidity, grace and carriage, opening and awakening the body. Groovy Wednesday Lunchtime classes will have an uplifting, funk and energising feel getting you up and motivated. They will both have a creative style with the opportunity to input with your own creative ideas as well as following content led by Danielle Teale.
Can I attend both classes every week?
Yes, you are welcome to attend either one class or both classes. Or you can alternate depending on your availability.
Can I pay as I go?
Yes, the classes are £5 per class, per person so you can pay this weekly (or £10 weekly if you attend both classes) as and when you join in. Alternatively if you’d like to guarantee your place you can pay upfront for a block of 8 classes at £40 or 16 classes at £80 if you choose to join twice a week.
Do I have to join the first class?
No. You can register at any time throughout the term of 8 weeks.
Do I have to pay?
I ask that you make a payment of £5 per class to help support this programme to run. If you find it financially challenging to do so at this time please do let me know. Inability to pay will not inhibit your ability to attend.
I can’t use PayPal, how do I pay?
You will be sent an invoice for the classes you attend weekly or an upfront payment invoice if you choose to pay in one go. The payment will need to be made by direct transfer.
If you have any questions about whether the classes are right for you or anything else you would like to know, please do contact Danielle at dancing.parkinsons@gmail.com to find out more or to register your interest / a place on one of the classes.
