“…The several types of dance-based exercises such as ballroom dance and Spanish dance showed an effective result on balance ability by time decreasing in TUGT ( p < 0.05) with a large effect size ( d = 1.2) [ 47 , 48 ]. Furthermore, the study results are similar to those of other studies that revealed the effect of dance-based exercise on balance ability, which had a different intervention period and frequency ranging from 6 weeks to 12 months [ 49 ]. These interventions included ballroom dancing, low-impact exercise, and Tai-chi [ 49 , 50 , 51 ].…”

Exercise may reduce the risk of falls in the elderly. The objective of the study was to determine the effect of a progressive step marching exercise (PSME) program on balance ability, lower limb muscle strength, aerobic capacity, quality of life, and fear of falling in the elderly. A cluster randomized controlled trial was selected where 30 elderly participants (aged 69 ± 3 years) from a community were supervised while performing a PSME program and 30 (aged 70 ± 3 years) from another community were assigned to a control group. All participants in both groups underwent timed up and go test, one leg standing test, five time sit to stand test, two minutes step test, World Health Organization Quality of Life-Thai version, and fall efficacy scale Thai version at baseline, after exercise at 4 and 8 weeks. The PSME group underwent the program for 8 weeks while those in the control group were instructed to continue their normal activity. After training, the PSME showed significant improvement (p < 0.05) in all parameters except one leg standing and two minutes step test when compared to the control group (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the PSME program could improve balance ability, lower limb muscle strength, quality of life, and fear of falling in the elderly.

“…To our knowledge, this meta-analysis is the first that aims to summarize the associations of dance-based mind-motor activities beyond tai chi with the risk of falling and the rate of falls among healthy older adults. Earlier systematic reviews that investigated dance-based mind-motor activities among healthy older adults suggested a beneficial effect for fall prevention solely based on the improvement of balance or strength 9 , 10 , 11 , 69 or included tai chi interventions only. 68 Other meta-analyses on the effect of dance-based mind-motor activities preselected on cardiovascular risk, 70 Parkinson disease, 71 or cognitive 12 , 72 function.…”

“…To minimize the biasing effects of overlapping reviews, all outcomes from primary studies included in multiple reviews were only considered once. The lone exception to this was one outcome (flexibility–sit & reach) from one primary study of dance [ 19 ] which was included in multiple meta-analyses [ 20 , 21 ] and thus considered twice. Re-calculation of meta-analyses to remove this duplication was not considered necessary due to consistent effects of dance on flexibility across 4 reviews considering 15 individual studies [ 20 – 23 ].…”

Performing arts as a health resource? An umbrella review of the health impacts of music and dance participation

An increasing body of evidence notes the health benefits of arts engagement and participation. However, specific health effects and optimal modes and ‘doses’ of arts participation remain unclear, limiting evidence-based recommendations and prescriptions. The performing arts are the most popular form of arts participation, presenting substantial scope for established interest to be leveraged into positive health outcomes. Results of a three-component umbrella review (PROSPERO ID #: CRD42020191991) of relevant systematic reviews (33), epidemiologic studies (9) and descriptive studies (87) demonstrate that performing arts participation is broadly health promoting activity. Beneficial effects of performing arts participation were reported in healthy (non-clinical) children, adolescents, adults, and older adults across 17 health domains (9 supported by moderate-high quality evidence (GRADE criteria)). Positive health effects were associated with as little as 30 (acute effects) to 60 minutes (sustained weekly participation) of performing arts participation, with drumming and both expressive (ballroom, social) and exercise-based (aerobic dance, Zumba) modes of dance linked to the broadest health benefits. Links between specific health effects and performing arts modes/doses remain unclear and specific conclusions are limited by a still young and disparate evidence base. Further research is necessary, with this umbrella review providing a critical knowledge foundation.
