OUR MISSION
Oklahoma City Ballet has proudly partnered with the Parkinson Foundation of Oklahoma for our program Dance for Parkinson’s. We aim to provide a fun and social setting for those living with Parkinson’s disease to work on their motor functions.
Dancing has been proven to be an effective way for those diagnosed with Parkinson’s to work to improve motility and balance. Our hour-long classes guide participants through different dance movements by sitting, standing, or moving across the floor.
CLASS LOCATIONS AND TIMES
New times beginning February 1, 2023:

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
“My dad was diagnosed with Parkinson’s 10 years ago. As I watched the disease progress, I longed for a way to use my skills to impact his life and others like him. It’s nothing short of a miracle to watch people in the class literally transform in front of my eyes. The amazing support of the community and the space available at the Susan E. Brackett Dance Center has made it possible for me and my amazing Parkinson’s dancers and I’m so thankful.”
