“OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Post:ballet: Berkeley Ballet Theaters dancers and community are connected to the creative process of a professional company that has gained local and national recognition for making work that is inventive, focused, sophisticated, and anything but risk averse (SF Chronicle). Offering professional-level performance opportunities and inspiring workshop experiences to BBT dancers, this partnership amplifies both organizations shared values of artistic excellence, inclusivity, passion, and imagination. Whether a dancer is interested in pursuing pre-professional training in the Youth Division or experiencing the joy of movement in the Adult Division, this partnership with Post:ballet enriches each dancers experience at BBT and cultivates a collaborative relationship between members of both organizations communities. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Dance for PD: Dance for PD originated as a collaboration between the Mark Morris Dance Group and the Brooklyn Parkinson Group, a chapter of the National Parkinson Foundation. The Dance for PD teaching method is built on one fundamental premise: professionally-trained dancers are movement experts whose knowledge is useful to persons with PD. Dancers know all about stretching and strengthening muscles, and about balance and rhythm. Most importantly, dancers know how to use their thoughts, imagination, eyes, ears, and touch to control their movements. While dancing, whether in chairs, at a barre, or standing, everyone in the class explores comfortable dance movements in an enjoyable, non-pressured, social environment in which live music energizes, enriches, and empowers.
