"Dancing with Parkinsons"
DIANE FLACKS

Choreographer Sarah Robichaud says teaching Parkinson’s patients has changed her life. “I have dancers who may come in using a walker and later on in the class will gracefully waltz across the floor. I am surprised and amazed every single class. Nothing short of miracles.” In spring 2007, Robichaud started working with CBC radio broadcaster Andy Barrie as a personal trainer to help him manage his Parkinson’s disease symptoms. She explains in an email why she expanded her efforts, starting Dancing with Parkinson’s classes: “In researching the disease, I learned that dance was a great therapy for PD sufferers. I decided that I could give back to the community by starting a dance program for those with PD.It was my mission to get (clients’) bodies moving, uplift their spirits and, most important, give them a sense of control and dignity back in their movement.”
