Background: Physical exercise improves neurological conditions, but adherence is hard to establish. Dance might be a promising alternative; however, since patients with Huntington's disease (HD) suffer from rhythmic movement execution deficits, any metric dance practice must be avoided.
Objective: Here we asked, if contemporary dance, a lyrical dance form, practiced for two hours per week over five months, might improve motor function, neuropsychiatric variables, cognition and brain volume of HD patients.
