MS Self-Management Programme
For Tayside Residents
Dance is a fun way to help with balance, co-ordination and mobility for people living with MS.
Scottish Ballet’s Self-Management Packages have been specially created to develop balance, mobility and freedom of movement as well as the mental and social wellbeing of people living with the condition.
Led by our experienced Dance Health artists, these interactive classes will be delivered in person and online, feature gentle movements inspired by Scottish Ballet’s repertoire, and uplifting live music.
No dance experience is required, and the movement is fully adaptable to meet your needs. These sessions are seated with the option to stand if desired and you are welcome to bring along a companion. You can join the programme at any point – you do not need to attend from the beginning.
What’s Included?
Running from Friday 17 April, our FREE programme includes:
– Weekly online dance classes on Fridays at 10am that you join from the comfort of your home

Following each in-person class there will be a half-hour social cafe to connect with others with lived experience of MS, and to build friendships and a community of support.

The classes are great and have helped me mentally as much as physically. ’
