National Dance Company Wales – Dance For Parkinson’s
Tuesdays, 1.30pm – 3pm
NDCWales is excited to launch new Dance for Parkinson’s classes in Bangor!

Classes are 90 minutes long, and all you’ll need is a chair.
English National Ballet’s Dance for Parkinson’s programme has been running since 2008. We are proud to be part of the Dance for PD membership, to support Dance for Parkinson’s Partnership and People Dancing and to have an affiliation with Parkinson’s UK.
