“…Six articles were excluded for the following reasons: the central topic of discussion was not truly dance or RAS‐related but addressed components such as psychological measures or school counselling, or the RAS included no dance component, only stair‐stepping.

“…9 For children with CP, emerging dance programmes offer adjuncts to physical and occupational therapy to enhance enjoyment, motivation, and participation in therapy. 10,11 Evidence shows that dance has potential to impact proprioception, balance, sensorimotor function, posture, motor timing, procedural and working memory, rehearsing, copying, mirroring, and aesthetic expression and appreciation. 12 Discrete postures and gestures used in dance constitute the simplest elements of a movement vocabulary that can be used to compose sequences of meaningful movement.…”

Aim To conduct a review of research literature on the use of dance and movement with music (rhythmic auditory stimulation [RAS]) in the neurorehabilitation of children and adults with cerebral palsy (CP). Method We conducted a systematic search and quality appraisal of the research literature on dance and RAS in CP. Additionally, we linked the research outcomes to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework. Results Studies showed preliminary evidence of the benefits of dance and RAS on body functions, particularly balance, gait, walking, and cardiorespiratory fitness for individuals with CP. Research gaps are evident across all domains of the ICF, particularly in the participation and environment domains. Interpretation To facilitate translation of quantitative research outcomes to the clinical classification of the ICF, a table was constructed that links traditional areas of quantitative rehabilitation research with the ICF categories highlighting areas of research strengths and areas where increased rigor is desirable. The potential for dance and RAS to have positive impacts on body functions, emotional expression, social participation, and attitudinal change are indicated areas for consideration in future research. What this paper adds The potential for dance and movement to music help balance, gait, and walking in children and adults with cerebral palsy. Research gaps are evident across International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health domains, particularly participation and environment domains.

“…These interventions have been poorly associated with improvements in these individuals' functional level and performance in activities 20,21 . Dance has been reported by Lopez-Ortiz et al 12 as improving balance and by Teixeira-Machado et al 11 as having a positive effect on functionality and social activities related to psychosocial adjustments in young patients with CP, but none of these authors has specifically evaluated the QoL of the participants in their studies 11,12 .…”

“…Despite opportunities for participation in group activities being even fewer, considering the negative social stereotype associated with these patients and the expectation that they will perform poorly 4,6 , group dance programs have been proposed for children/adolescents with CP 8 . These programs require the individual to be physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially involved and may improve aspects related to his or her QoL and psychosocial factors 11,12,13 .…”

To describe the influence of adapted hip-hop dancing on the quality of life (QoL) and biopsychosocial profile of children/adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP). Methods Pilot study including 18 children/adolescents with CP and Gross Motor Function Classification System levels I and II. Nine participants took part in an adapted hip-hop dance practice (study group; SG), and nine others served as the control group (CG). All participants were assessed with the Pediatric Outcomes Data Collection Instrument and the Child Behavior Checklist at baseline and after at least three months of dance practice and a public performance (SG) or a similar period without intervention (CG). Results Improvement in QoL was observed in the SG in the domains of transfer and basic mobility (p = 0.00*), sporting and physical function (p = 0.04*), and global function and symptoms (p = 0.01*). In the SG, there was a reduction in emotional and behavioral problems and an increase in social competence in the biopsychosocial profile. Greater participation in adapted hip-hop dancing was associated with a greater gain in the transfer and basic mobility domains (p = 0.05*) of the Pediatric Outcomes Data Collection Instrument and in the activities (p = 0.05*) and social (p = 0.04*) scales of the Child Behavior Checklist. Conclusions Children/adolescents with CP participating in adapted hip-hop dance practice showed improvement in QoL and biopsychosocial profile scores.
