The organizations below help make our creative, music-inspired movement programs accessible to older adults across Northeast Wisconsin. Their support directly fuels connection, confidence, and well-being—one meaningful move at a time.

Freedom in Motion

I have Parkinson’s Disease 24 hours a day. But when I’m at class, it’s like my Parkinson’s goes away for a while.”
— Participant, shared by Occupational Therapist Allie

Creative, Supportive, and Joy-Filled

“This is a wonderful program for anyone with movement concerns. Lisa is creative, supportive, fun to be around, and challenges us while encouraging us to move at our own comfort level.”
— Bruce Piette

From Uncertain to Empowered

“Over the course of my life, I’ve come to believe in myself more. You are very good at invoking joy, but even better at teaching the concept of self-care. Since my PD diagnosis in 2018, I’ve met incredibly amazing people—you’re right at the top of that list.”
— Sue Pankratz

Smiles All Around

“There were no faces without smiles, and watching caregivers/spouses engage was inspirational. I left feeling uplifted and excited.”
— Marggie – IKOR

Finding Community Through Challenge

“This Parkinson’s diagnosis, while not something I would have asked for, has brought so many wonderful, awesome, kind, and caring people into my life—you are at the top of the list!”
— EbM Participant

Who Would Have Thought?

The class is fun and challenges my brain and coordination with a group of people who have the same challenges. Who would have thought I’d be doing ballet and enjoying it?”
—Charlie
