The essence of dance is joy. In addition to all of the physical benefits, dance builds community. It brings people together, provides a space to connect, and offers healthy and fun ways to build strength, coordination, balance, and stability all while using creativity and imagery to inspire movement. Programming has been made possible in part by The Community Foundation of Mendocino County’s 2025 Fund for Healthy and Inclusive Communities, a Dance for PD Launch Grant, a funding initiative of the Mark Morris Dance Group’s Dance for PD® program, Mendocino Coast Recreation and Park District’s District Services Grant, and generous donors. Classes are offered at no cost.
