Lone Tree Arts Center offers movement classes for people with Parkinson’s
Free Parkinson's movement workshops at Lone Tree Arts Center included a May 18 class at 10075 Commons St and a July 20 session.
A free workshop for people with Parkinson’s disease is set for Monday, May 18, 2026, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at 10075 Commons St, Lone Tree, CO 80124. Lone Tree Arts Center is offering movement classes for people living with Parkinson’s disease in Douglas County, with free sessions at its Lone Tree venue and through a partnership with the Parkinson Association of the Rockies. The workshops are part of the arts center’s “Workshops for People with Parkinson’s” series and are aimed at mobility, expression and social connection.
The center’s approach is built around performative movement. Patrick Elkins-Zeglarski, the arts center’s community programs coordinator, said, “In performative movement, you really take a look at the sequence: what does it take to throw, then we color it with emotional circumstance.” The classes use movement-based work as a therapeutic outlet for people with Parkinson’s, a progressive neurological condition that can affect fine motor skills and everyday movement.
One of the sessions, “Walking As Performative Movement: A Gentle Movement Workshop for People with Parkinson’s,” blends gentle exercise, creativity and social connection in a supportive environment, with guided movement and breathing activities.
A second workshop, “Throwing As Performative Movement: A Gentle, Creative Movement Workshop for People with Parkinson’s,” is set for Monday, July 20, 2026, at 10:30 a.m. Reservations are handled through the arts center’s workshop page.
The Parkinson Association of the Rockies offers free and donation-based exercise classes throughout the state, with liability waivers and a neurologist’s medical consent form required before attending.
