The Parkinson Association

In 2017, with the support of TrygFonden, the Parkinson's Association was able to launch the country's comprehensive project Dance with Parkinson's. The project, which was to run for a three-year project period, aimed to increase the quality of life, self-esteem and health among people with Parkinson's Disease and their relatives. The goal of the project was to bring the country's Parkinson's families together in a joint project centered around dance training, music and the joy of life. This was to be done by training dance instructors who could get help to set up dance teams throughout Denmark and hold dance lessons for Parkinson's sufferers and their relatives. The project was launched with the hope that many of the dance teams would be so well established that they could continue after the end of the project.
