On a recent Tuesday morning, several men and women gathered together at a corner lot in Taman Nyaman, Old Klang Road, Kuala Lumpur for a dance workout. The Malaysian Parkinson’s Disease Association (MPDA) was hosting its first hybrid “Dance For Parkinson’s” programme since the pandemic, combining a group which was there in person, as well as those who had dialled in from afar.
Led by dancer/ballet teacher Katy Cheong, about 20 participants, those with Parkinson’s disease and their caregivers, happily engaged in a series of dance patterns and exercises set to pop classics from the 1970s which got everyone moving, laughing and having a good time.
