Who We Are

Our Mission

To enhance health and quality of life for older adults living with Parkinson disease and related disorders (PD) in west central Illinois, by providing ongoing accessible group dance programs for persons with PD and their care partners. 


Our Community

We offer dance and exercise classes for people with Parkinson disease and related disorders and their care partners in Springfield Illinois.  We welcome dancers at any level of ability. 


The classes are supported by the American Parkinson Disease Association, St. Louis Chapter.  Tuesday classes are provided through a  grant from Springfield Memorial  Foundation. Thursday classes are made possible by a grant from the King's Daughters Organization  Fund of the Community Foundation for the Land of Lincoln.  Gracious in-kind support for all face to face classes is provided by First Presbyterian Church and  Grace Lutheran Church in Springfield.  Our generous individual donors and dedicated volunteers keep us dancing. 

 The Joy of Movement is a nonprofit corporation, recognized as a tax-exempt public charity under section 501-(c)(3). Donations to The Joy of Movement are tax-deductible. 


  We are deeply grateful for our many generous donors, including  Mick and Blanca Bernasek,  Maureen Earley, Judith Everson, Donald and Patricia Graham,  Rose Jumper, Chris and Denny Kirchgesner, Bill and Lovell Legg, Candace Mueller,  Cheryl and Mark Pence, Maggie and Darrell Schaver, Judy and Harvey Stephens, Jane Treadwell,  Penny Wollan-Kriel and many anonymous donors. 

Donations have also been made in honor of Maureen Earley, Candace Mueller and the  Susan and Peter White family and in loving memory of Matthew Chaiklin, Bruce Fischberg, Jack Kriel, Sam Million, Donald Post, Kathy Smith, Nellie Staley and Lee Webster.
