On Sept. 15, the Trey McIntyre Project, with the Northwest Parkinson’s Foundation, began the fall session of TMP Dance for Parkinson’s at Ballet Idaho. The free program focuses on the healing power of dance. It will run just over a year, split into 11-week classes, ending on Nov. 24, 2015.

Former TMP dancer Elizabeth Keller leads the program, which is based on the 2001 Dance for PD method designed by the Mark Morris Dance Group and Brooklyn Parkinson’s Group.
