HKAPA Launches Dance Well classes of the Jockey Club Dance Well Project

The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts's School of Dance will launch the Jockey Club Dance Well Project – Dance Well classes this September for people with Parkinson’s disease and the community through regular dance classes and activities in artistic spaces like galleries, museums and performance venues. All classes are free!

The Jockey Club Dance Well Project is a creative movement programme designed for people with Parkinson’s disease and people of different ages and abilities through regular dance classes and activities in artistic spaces like galleries, museums and performance venues. Organised by the School of Dance at The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts and funded by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, the three-year creative movement project is designed for people with Parkinson's disease but open to all.

Academy Director Professor Gillian Choa says, “One of the Academy’s main focuses has always been serving our community through engagement programmes of various performing art forms. We are delighted to lead this meaningful project, which aims to have a positive impact on the overall wellbeing of those with Parkinson’s disease, their families and close friends, and at the same time generate awareness of the disease in society. We are extremely grateful to the Hong Kong Jockey Club for its kind support of the project.”
