Abstract
Research has supported the notion that dance alleviates motor symptoms for people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) illustrated by observed improvements in gait, balance, and quality of life. However, what remains unclear is whether engaging in weekly dance classes also positively influences nonmotor symptoms of PD, such as affect regulation (mood).
