Listen "Dance for MS with Tiffany Stott and Emily Davis of the Scottish Ballet | S7E19"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Living Well with MS – the podcast where we explore how lifestyle choices and evidence-based approaches can help people live full and healthy lives with multiple sclerosis – we look at the surprising benefits of dance with Tiffany Stott and Emily Davis from Scottish Ballet.
Tiffany leads Scottish Ballet’s Dance Health Programmes, and Emily recently completed her PhD on Elevate – a dance programme created specifically for people with MS. What makes Elevate stand out is its inclusivity: whether you’re seated, standing, brand new to dance or have years of experience, the classes are adapted so everyone can take part.
Join us as we explore how the arts and science come together to support people with MS, and why dance might be one of the most uplifting ways to live well.
