Dance for Parkinson's | Mexic

Project title

Danza para Parkinson | Mexico

Description of initiative

Since 2016 Fundays promoted the Dance for Parkinson's Program in collaboration with the ANEP Parkinson Monterrey, A.C., in order to offer people living with Parkinson's disease a space where they can coexist, share and express themselves through movement and dance in a safe environment, without fear of being judged and seeking at the same time to create a support network that allows them to "sustain" each other when needed. Considering this program, new headquarters have been opened and the organisation frequently collaborate with various health institutions to bring the program to more people in the country and beyond.
