Testimonials

Former Utah Symphony cellist and bass player Dan Gwin has been living with Parkinson’s disease for 17 years. Gwin says lifting his cello bow to the strings has now become challenging. During a recent DANCEBACKclass, the heavy beat of Keith Urban’s “Texas Time” flowed through the
speakers; Clapier extended his hand to Gwin, helping him out of his wheelchair to provide support; Linda Clapier was soon by Gwin’s other side, helping to provide balance. Immediately, Gwin smiled and began to pick up the dance steps with little effort and in perfect rhythm to the country tune, “Come on let’s get back on Texas Time!”
