Sarah Robichaud is a remarkable human being. Several years ago she set her mind to something and made it happen. I've known Sarah since before we both had our kids. We worked together at what was Level Five Fitness and co-authored "Working on the Ball: A Simple Guide to Office Fitness". She's a toned, tenacious and huge hearted woman and the founder of the charitable organization, Dancing with Parkinsons.
Dancing with Parkinson’s (DWP) is a class where those with Parkinson's Disease can explore the potential of their own movement through choreography and improvisation.
DWP has the unique privilege of live musical accompaniment for each class. The live music enables a broad range of tempos and styles for each piece of choreography helping to transport bodies and spirits in a joyful, safe environment.
I just bought my tix for this...
On June 22nd, Dancing With Parkinson's will be hosting "I'VE GOT A FEELING!", an evening that will have the whole room clapping, twirling and stomping the night away. This year’s fundraising event will have homegrown faces from news, entertainment and the literary world, plus a diverse list of guests varying from neurologists, corporate medical representatives, celebrities, and those families who have a personal interest in Parkinson’s disease. Everyone will be there to dance to live music, be wowed by the PD dancers and support the DWP program.
