“…It is known that maintaining a physically active life improves motor abilities and reduces the risk of injuries and falls. The effects of dance are possibly associated with an improvement in balance, muscle strength and endurance, coordination, rhythm, and body awareness, contributing to the reduction of the occurrence of falls [18]. The positive effect of dance was demonstrated in a study in which a group of people aged 60-94 attended 6-month dance classes for 1h per week.…”

Background Due to increasing life expectancy, the number of elderly people is increasing. This contributes to the increased incidence of geriatric syndromes, which lead to a loss of mobility, independence and worsens the quality of life. Aim The aim of this article is to review the literature on the use of dance training as a factor in reducing the risk of falls, depression and dementia in the elderly, and also in reducing the effects of these conditions. Material and Methods 40 articles were reviewed using PubMed, Google Scholar and ResearchGate databases published between 2008 and 2022. Conclusions Dancing can be an element of training, which, by improving coordination, balance and muscle strength, reduces the risk of falls among the elderly. By positively influencing the mood, creating opportunities to build new relationships or reducing the feeling of loneliness, it is one of the factors preventing the occurrence of depression and alleviating its symptoms. Although dancing increases the level of neurotrophic factors and increases the volume of the hippocampus, its effects on cognitive and executive functions are not fully understood. However, there are reports that it can reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease and alleviate anxiety in people with dementia, so the use of dance interventions seems to be a beneficial form of exercise among the elderly, especially since it does not require the use of specialized equipment and costs are not high.

(1) Background: The regular practice of dancing benefits the physical condition, improving quality of life and minimising the adverse effects of ageing. Therefore, this review aims to evaluate the impact of dance programmes by quantifying different physical parameters of the lower body in older adults. (2) Methods: A systematic qualitative review in the English language (PubMed, Scopus, OvidSP, Cochrane and PEDro database) until mid-2020 considering the PRISMA guidelines and the PEDro quality criteria considering the following parameters of gait: stride length and width, speed. Physical parameters: flexion and dorsiflexion joint, muscle strength and range of motion were carried out. (3) Results: 9 studies with a population of 544 subjects from 5 continents and 6 types of dances were taken into account. The improvement of some parameters over others depended on the type of dance and the movements generated, having moderate positive effects on strength, agility, mobility and balance. (4) Conclusions: there is a general improvement in the functional capacity of the elderly through the practice of ballroom dancing, with specific improvement of each parameter depending on the type of dance.
