“…In one case, 3 search results (2 conference abstracts and 1 full article) were combined as they were reporting on one larger study [33] . There were 4 pre-post studies with no control group [ 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 ], 3 case reports [ 37 , 38 , 39 ], and 2 controlled studies [ 40 , 41 ]. The results of 5 of these studies were published as full articles in academic journals [ 33 , 36 , 37 , 39 , 40 ], 3 studies were published as abstracts in academic journals [ 34 , 35 , 41 ], and 1 study was a published as a graduate thesis [38] .…”

“…The authors of the 3 studies published as abstracts were contacted to request further information and to determine if there was a full article submitted or in press. Only one author replied with details about the study population and provided an updated sample size; however, no further published results were available at the time [34] . Table 2 lists the included studies and summarizes the neurological patient group studied and features of the dance intervention used.…”

“…Seven of the 9 studies listed the age or mean age and standard deviation for their sample, which ranged from 42.9 (12.1) [35] to 73 years of age [37] . The patient population receiving the dance intervention in each study was as follows: stroke (3 studies) [ 33 , 37 , 38 ], MS (2 studies) [ 36 , 39 ], SCI (2 studies) [ 35 , 41 ], Huntington's disease (1 study) [40] , and individuals with motor deficits (1 study) [34] . The authors of this final study were contacted for more details regarding the individuals included in their study group.…”

PurposeTo conduct a systematic review that examined the effect of dance interventions on balance, gait and functional mobility outcomes in adults with neurological conditions other than Parkinson's disease.MethodsA systematic search of relevant databases was conducted. Data extraction and methodological appraisal were performed by two independent authors.ResultsNine studies were included (4 pre-post studies with no control group, 3 case reports, and 2 controlled studies) and results of the methodological quality assessment ranged from poor to good. Study groups included stroke, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, and Huntington's disease. Dance interventions varied in frequency, type and duration, and only 1 study reported intensity. Study dropout rates ranged from 20–44%, and 88–100% of dance classes were attended. Only 3 studies mentioned adverse events, of which there were none. A summary of results revealed significant changes in spatiotemporal gait parameters, Berg Balance Scale scores, Timed Up and Go test and six-minute walk test that were similar to or greater than those previously reported in a review of dance for individuals with Parkinson's disease.ConclusionsThere is emerging evidence to support the use of dance as a feasible intervention for adults with neurological conditions. Further investigation of the effects of dance with randomized controlled trials using larger sample sizes and better reporting of the intervention, participant tolerance, and adverse events is warranted.

“…Many kinds of dance such as jazz, merengue, tango, rumba, salsa, Ballet are reported for dance therapy [34][35][36][37]. For the therapeutic application of dance, dance therapy, free and guided dance movement, and dance movement were used as terms [38][39][40]. Time/duration was described as both the length of the dance class and the length of the intervention period [20].…”

Dance is basically a complex physical activity which either casually or formally organized in which people take part for fitness, health and well-being, social relationships or competition and a worldwide human activity that involves complex whole body movements through space synchronized to music. Dance-related reviews of evidence have examined the effectiveness of dance therapy on psychological and physical health and well-being outcomes in patients with cancer, for schizophrenia, and on depression. Dance therapy was officially described firstly in 1948. The medical application of dance therapy was well reviewed in neurologic conditions. Dance has been used extensively for the treatment of gait and balance dysfunction in individuals with Parkinson’s disease. Especially, Argentine tango is the most frequently employed dance form in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. Tango therapy may hold promise as an intervention to improve gait, balance, and mobility in a variety of neurological conditions. Tango therapy was approached from dance therapy to the current status of medical application. A more systemic analysis of tango movement for proper and effective therapeutic application of tango is necessary for medical purposes.

The pas de trois of disability, dance and social work: dance/movement therapy as point of access for recreational dance

Individuals with disabilities are left out of recreational programs at a much higher rate than individuals with no disabilities. Seeking to rid barriers created by inaccessible recreational dance spaces, dance/movement therapy (DMT) offers a potential solution. This research explores how DMT can inspire a model for accessible recreational dance spaces for individuals with varying abilities, how this therapeutic practice can translate into a recreational dance atmosphere, and the role of social workers herein. The research takes the form of a content analysis via hermeneutic phenomenology of a six-week DMT-inspired pilot program developed by the researcher, and is informed by critical disability and structural social work theories. Findings highlight the parallels between DMT and recreational dance, making possible their fusion to create a space for ‘everyone and anyone’, and emphasize a social work presence. A logic model resulted, guiding how accessible recreational dance programs may be designed, based on DMT.
