CONSORTIUM

Meet Our Talented Team

We are an interdisciplinary team of researchers and professors in Cognitive Neuroscience, Physiotherapy, Kinesiology, and Dance Pedagogics, united by a passion for dance and a commitment to improving the lives of people with Parkinson’s Disease. In collaboration with the Parkinson’s Disease Society, we design evidence-based dance interventions that promote mobility, balance, and well-being — blending science, movement, and joy.
