Dancing to thwart Parkinson’s

SARASOTA (WSNN) – Get ready to move your feet and dance for Parkinson’s! April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month and New College of Florida is hosting its 3^rd annual Dance for Parkinson’s event next Thursday. This is through a collaboration with Sarasota Contemporary Dance and Parkinson Place. But this year, it’s going virtual.

COVID-19 is not stopping the Dance for Parkinson’s event from happening this year.

“We’re really excited to kind go full circle. We had to cancel last year because of the pandemic,” said Leymis Bolaños Wilmott,  the Artistic Director and Co-founder of Sarasota Contemporary Dance. “This year, we’re like, we’re going to do it, no matter what. And we’re doing it.”
