CLEVELAND — A year after Playhouse Square launched an innovative arts initiative for people with neurological disorders, the program is now receiving international recognition.

The honor comes as Playhouse Square’s Dance for Parkinson’s classes continue to grow, offering a unique blend of movement, music, and community for people living with the disease.
