Meet Rick and his wife Rosie! Rick was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, and the pair found out about Rx Ballroom Dance classes at a Parkinson’s support group meeting. The two admitted they never knew about the benefits of ballroom dance until they took their first cha cha cha.
The road isn’t always smooth. On their first day, Rick struggled with “freezing”- a common struggle for people with Parkinson’s. Just three weeks later, Rick no longer has freezing and can syncopate the rhythm in his feet with ease! Not to mention, Rick and Rosie are smiling, laughing and breaking a sweat!
