Practiced in a variety of settings, dance therapy has been shown to help with everything from memory enhancement to movement rehabilitation, treating such neurological concern’s as Parkinson’s disease, autism, dementia and stroke. Patients who join dance classes say it helps to loosen tight joints, improve overall movement, and lift spirits. These classes use dance combinations and repetition with focus on grace and personal success. Certain movements work on specific problems that Parkinson’s patients have, like mobility freeze or doing two things at once.

Disney's Beauty and the Beast Spatanburg High School and Spartanburg School District 7 present this Disney version of Beauty and the Beast… an extravaganza of sights and sounds for the whole family.
Once upon a time in a faraway land, a young prince lived in a shining castle. Although he had everything his heart desired, the Prince was spoiled, selfish and unkind. But then, one winter's night, an old beggar woman came to the castle and offered him a single rose in return for shelter from the bitter cold. Repulsed by her haggard appearance, the Prince sneered at the gift and turned the old woman away. But she warned him not to be deceived by appearances for beauty is found within. And when he dismissed her again, the old woman's ugliness melted away to reveal a beautiful Enchantress. The Prince tried apologize, but it was too late. For she had seen that there was no love in his heart. As punishment, she transformed him into a hideous Beast and placed a powerful spell on the castle and all who lived there. Ashamed of his monstrous form, the Beast concealed himself inside his castle with a Magic Mirror as his only window to the outside world. The rose she had offered was truly an enchanted rose, which would bloom for many years. If he could learn to love another and earn their love in return by the time the last petal fell, then the spell would be broken. If not he would be doomed to remain a Beast for all time. As the years passed, he fell into despair and lost all hope. For who could ever learn to love a Beast?
Parkinson's Dance Class Dance therapy uses movement and music to treat social, emotional, cognitive, and physical problems. Practiced in a variety of settings, dance therapy has been shown to help with everything from memory enhancement to movement rehabilitation, treating such neurological concern’s as Parkinson’s disease, autism, dementia and stroke. Patients who join dance classes say it helps to loosen tight joints, improve overall movement, and lift spirits. These classes use dance combinations and repetition with focus on grace and personal success. Certain movements work on specific problems that Parkinson’s patients have, like mobility freeze or doing two things at once. Ballet Spartanburg Artistic Director Carlos Agudelo participated in a Dance for Parkinson’s Disease Workshop sponsored by Mark Morris Dance Group and Brooklyn Parkinson Group in New York City. Ballet Spartanburg offers free dance classes for Parkinson’s patients on the second and fourth Thursday of every month at 1:30 p.m. in the ballet studios at the Chapman Cultural Center. The first class of each month is followed by the monthly meeting of the Spartanburg Parkinson’s Association.2nd and 4th Thursday of each month.

Disney's Beauty and the Beast Spatanburg High School and Spartanburg School District 7 present this Disney version of Beauty and the Beast… an extravaganza of sights and sounds for the whole family.
Once upon a time in a faraway land, a young prince lived in a shining castle. Although he had everything his heart desired, the Prince was spoiled, selfish and unkind. But then, one winter's night, an old beggar woman came to the castle and offered him a single rose in return for shelter from the bitter cold. Repulsed by her haggard appearance, the Prince sneered at the gift and turned the old woman away. But she warned him not to be deceived by appearances for beauty is found within. And when he dismissed her again, the old woman's ugliness melted away to reveal a beautiful Enchantress. The Prince tried apologize, but it was too late. For she had seen that there was no love in his heart. As punishment, she transformed him into a hideous Beast and placed a powerful spell on the castle and all who lived there. Ashamed of his monstrous form, the Beast concealed himself inside his castle with a Magic Mirror as his only window to the outside world. The rose she had offered was truly an enchanted rose, which would bloom for many years. If he could learn to love another and earn their love in return by the time the last petal fell, then the spell would be broken. If not he would be doomed to remain a Beast for all time. As the years passed, he fell into despair and lost all hope. For who could ever learn to love a Beast?
