Each new person receiving a Parkinson s diagnosis should have the
opportunity to learn they are still a healthy person...with
Parkinson s. Alex Kerten s Gyro-Kinetics program vividly
demonstrates that everyone no exceptions can choose to change their
lives by taking the challenge to be a Parkinson s Warrior. Lolly
Champion, Education Chair/Vice President, Parkinson Association of
Santa Barbara (PASB)
Alex Kerten s method also requires the mind to think positively:
You are not a sick person who is ruled by Parkinson s, but a
healthy person who just happens to have Parkinson s. The simple
(yet challenging) shift in emphasis is a key part of the movement
method. But Kerten is refreshingly enthusiastic and encouraging,
clearly explaining his method through very simple movement tasks
outlined in the book. His method goes beyond being a dance manual
though. It is a recipe for a different way of living with a chronic
condition.

Department of Dance, University of Roehampton
