Why Dance? The Research on Exercise
• Patients with PD improve their physical performance and activities of daily living through exercise, specifically improved axial rotation, functional reach, flexibility, balance, muscle strength, short-step gait, and mobility. Crizzle, AM , Newhouse, IJ. Clin J Sport Med. 2006 Sep;16(5):422-5.
• Evidence supported exercise as being beneficial to physical functioning, health-related quality of life, strength, balance and gait speed for people with PD.Goodwin, VA, Richards, SH, Taylor, RS, Taylor, AH, Campbell, JL. Mov Disord. 2008 Apr 15;23(5):631-40

And Dance in Particular…• Rhythmic auditory stimulation (RAS)-
metronome-pulse patterns embedded into the on/off beat structure of rhythmically accentuated music.
• Patients trained with RAS significantly improved their gait velocity by 25%, stride length by 12%, step cadence by 10%,compared to self-paced subjects and no-training subjects.Hausdorff JM, Lowenthal J, Herman T, Gruendlinger L, Peretz C, Giladi N. Eur J Neurosci. 2007 Oct;26(8):2369-75.

And Dance in Particular
• After 20 Tango sessions, people with PD showed significant improvements in overall Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) score and significant improvements on the Berg Balance Scale. Hackney ME, Kantorovich S, Levin R, Earhart GM. Program in Physical Therapy, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, Missouri, USA.

“Dance as therapy.
Dance for flexibility, strength, endurance.

Dance in defiance of the disease.
Dance for a cure.

Dance to raise a question.”

Welcome and Introductions• “… We learn there is 'no right way', to explore our
own response in movement. [This class] encourages free movement, reassuring people who felt self-conscious or unsure or embarrassed.”-JP
• “We start with a greeting ritual of names, connecting us, showing us each one's particular movement gesture. We are learning the language of movement.”-JP

Floor Work
“When I dance, I potentiate my movements. I now listen to disco music at home. I turn on the tape in my bedroom and dance away. When I am done, my whole body feels stretched. It feels so good, that I like to aim to do it every day.”-AF

Choreographed Routine
“The other night I had to get up and I was feeling very stiff. I looked out the window and saw the big full moon. I smiled and started picking apples (one of the dance routines), which made me feel much better.”-GA

Cool Down and Stretching
“I find dancing relaxing. I haven’t felt that I could exercise for more than three years. My arms and muscles were tightening. Dancing is a great workout.”
![Page 26: Jf&Cs Parkinsons Family Support Program](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070317/556c4a9cd8b42a23608b4e8b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Closing
“I had been searching for something and coming here, we have found it! Finally, I have found people who ‘get’ what having and dealing with Parkinson’s are all about.”
“We end with a ritual of gratitude, connecting us.”-JP
