The PD Moves Program is a dance program for persons with Parkinson's Disease and their caregivers/spouses. The program was founded in Cedar Rapids in 2016 by Tallis Strub. The material focuses largely on social dance styles like Tango and Waltz, and also utilizes elements of Jazz, Tap, and Ballet to inspire movement combinations and variations.
Benefits of the program:
As we add elements of music, rhythm, and social engagement, we begin to see both mental and physical benefits among participants. Some participants notice less tremor while dancing. Others experience more ease in movement overall. All experience joy!
