Benefits
Robyn creates a friendly, warm and inclusive environment where everyone feels welcomed, valued and encouraged to move in their own way. Her classes combine music, imagination and movement, with a mixture of seated and standing activities that can be adapted to suit each individual.
Her Dance for Parkinson’s classes are a chance to get moving, be creative, connect with others and, most importantly, have fun. You don’t need any previous dance experience. Just come along and give it a go!
Sessions led by Robyn Gamston
Robyn is a dance artist who holds a Degree in Contemporary Dance from the London Contemporary Dance School. She teaches inclusive dance sessions to people of all ages and abilities across Buckinghamshire and beyond.
Strictly NOT strictly!
We’re not ballroom dancing … so you won’t need a partner. Our dancing is all about individual expression and movement. Men are welcome too … don’t be shy!
Open for everyone
You don’t have to be a member of Parkinson’s UK to come to our dance group – anyone in our area affected by Parkinson’s (including partners and carers) is welcome.
Time and dates
Movement to Music is from 11.15 – 12.15 on Thursday mornings. Check the panels at the top of this page for the next event.
