“…10,33 A number of studies reported that participants were satisfied with the dance intervention and wished to continue classes postintervention. 6,10,34,35,39,41 Two studies illustrated that participants preferred to attend a dance class compared with an exercise class because almost 50% of the participants in dance groups attended additional classes after post intervention testing whereas no one from the exercise groups attended additional classes. 10,33 The safety of the dance interventions was poorly monitored and reported.…”

Objectives: (1) To appraise and synthesize the literature on dance interventions for individuals with Parkinson disease (PD); (2) to provide information regarding the frequency, intensity, duration, and type of dance used in these programs; and (3) to inform the development of future studies evaluating dance interventions in this population. Data Extraction: Data regarding participants and the frequency, intensity, duration, and type of dance form used were extracted. The effect that each dance program had on defined outcomes and the feasibility of each program were also reviewed. DataData Synthesis: Thirteen articles were identified. The quality of studies varied, and methodological limitations were evident in some. The evidence evaluated suggests that two 1-hour dance classes per week over 10 to 13 weeks may have beneficial effects on endurance, motor impairment, and balance.Conclusions: Dance may be helpful for some people with PD. This article provides preliminary information to aid clinicians when implementing dance programs for people with PD. Higher-quality multicenter studies are needed to determine the effect of other dance genres and the optimal therapy volume and intensity.
