“…One intervention included a once-weekly 60-minute dance class with a 40-minute home program for eight weeks [36], and two included 90-minute dance classes with 60-minute home programs with the interventions lasting 10 weeks and six months, respectively [64,66]. One included a 60-minute dance therapy session practiced once per week for 10 weeks [34]. Thus, the amount of time spent dancing ranged from 60 to 180 minutes per week.…”

“…With regard to participant characteristics, inclusion and exclusion criteria were clearly described in all trials, and three of the 16 trials [16,33,34] reported statistically significant differences between groups at baseline. These three trials accounted for 92 of the 516 participants analyzed (18%).…”

“…Several systematic reviews and meta-analyses on dance and PD have been published over the past decade [13,[28][29][30], with some focusing specifically on one dance style, such as Argentine tango [31], and others on specific outcomes, such as gait and cognition [32] or non-motor symptoms [19]. Since the most recent comprehensive systematic reviews of the literature, a number of studies investigating novel dance interventions [33][34][35][36][37] and novel outcomes [35,[38][39][40] have been published. There is thus a need to combine new evidence with previous research to provide a more comprehensive picture of the efficacy of this multifaceted intervention on motor and non-motor symptoms in PD.…”

Dance may help individuals living with Parkinson's disease (PD) improve motor and nonmotor symptoms that impact quality of life (QOL). The primary aim of this systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was to evaluate the efficacy of dance in improving motor and non-motor symptoms of PD and QOL. The secondary aims of this review were to evaluate the methodological quality of included studies by assessing risk of bias across nine categories and to inform the direction of future research. Peer-reviewed RCTs that included people living with PD at all disease stages and ages and measured the effects of a dance intervention longer than one day were included. Sixteen RCTs involving 636 participants with mild to moderate PD were eligible for inclusion in the qualitative synthesis and nine in the meta-analysis. Overall, the reviewed evidence demonstrated that dance can improve motor impairments, specifically balance and motor symptom severity in individuals with mild to moderate PD, and that more research is needed to determine its effects on non-motor symptoms and QOL. RCTs that use a mixed-methods approach and include larger sample sizes will be beneficial in fully characterizing effects and in determining which program elements are most important in bringing about positive, clinically meaningful changes in people with PD.

“…As expected, given the greater focus on dance rather other performing art forms in previous reviews, dance was the performing arts therapeutic medium for which there was the largest body of evidence with a total of 38 studies (see Appendix 1 for details of each study). Twenty-two of these dance studies included a control group: variously physiotherapy, [52] exercise, [53][54][55][56][57][58][59] education, [60-62] support groups, [63][64] usual care, [56,[65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78] and a waiting list control. [79] Of these, there were 14 separate randomised controlled trials.…”

“…At least some evidence of bene t on cognition was found for all studies across both dance styles, except one study on PD-speci c individually customised dance. [63][64] One study [60] compared leading and following tango, and found that participants assigned to follow (this was not based on gender) improved signi cantly more in cognition than participants assigned to lead. Three studies considered the impact of music therapy interventions on cognitive status.…”

Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative condition associated with a wide range of motor and non-motor symptoms. There has been increasing interest in the potential benefit of performing arts as a therapeutic medium in PD. While there have been previous reviews, none have considered all performing arts modalities and most have focused on dance. This systematic review examined the potential benefit of all active group-based performing arts interventions for quality of life, functional communication, speech, motor function and cognitive status. Methods: Searches were conducted in February 2020 on five scholarly databases. Supplementary searches were conducted. Included studies were quantitative in design, and assessed the potential benefit of any active group-based performing arts intervention for quality of life, functional communication, speech, motor function or cognitive status in people with PD. Full text papers were eligible for inclusion, as were conference abstracts since January 2018. Screening, data extraction, narrative synthesis and quality assessment were conducted independently by two reviewers. Quality assessment used the SURE checklists. Results: 56 studies were eligible for inclusion in this systematic review, reported in 67 publications. Published from 1989 to 2020, these studies included a total of 1531 people with PD from 12 countries, and covered four broad performing arts modalities: dance, singing, music therapy and theatre. Dance remains the most commonly studied performing arts modality for PD (38 studies), while there were 12 studies on singing interventions, four on music therapy, and only two on theatrical interventions. There was evidence for a beneficial effect of all four performing arts modalities on at least some outcome domains. Conclusions: This is the first systematic review to assess the potential benefit of all active group-based performing arts interventions in PD. The evidence suggests that performing arts may be a useful therapeutic medium in PD. However, a substantial limitation of the evidence base is that no studies compared interventions from different performing arts modalities. Moreover, not all performing arts modalities were assessed for all outcome domains. Therefore it is not currently possible to determine which performing arts modalities are most beneficial for which specific outcomes.
