AI Article Synopsis

  • - The review assesses the health benefits of various forms of dance and dance therapy across different areas, including mental health, cognitive function, and neurological benefits, through a significant research search yielding over 2,500 articles.
  • - It focuses on dance interventions ranging from certified movement therapy to popular and ethnic dance styles, noting that the majority of study participants were older adults (65+) but also included children with cognitive challenges.
  • - Findings indicate that dance interventions significantly enhance physical and psychological health, improve cognitive functions, and even increase brain volume compared to traditional exercise, especially benefiting those with dementia, Parkinson's disease, and depression.

Article Abstract

The purpose of this review is to evaluate the health benefits of dance and dance therapy in various health domains. Dance interventions included movement therapy with certified therapists, common dances such as ballroom dancing, salsa, and cha-cha as well as ethnic dances, such as the Chinese Guozhuang Dance and the Native American jingle dance. The health domains included depression, cognitive function, neuromotor function, dementia, balance, neurological growth factors, and subjective well-being The National Library of Medicine, Congress of Library, and the Internet were searched using the terms: dance, dance movement therapy, health, cognitive function, healing, neurological function, neuromotor function, and affective disorders from 1831 to January 2, 2023. Two-thousand five hundred and ninety-one articles were identified. Articles were selected if they provided information on the health benefits of dance in one or more of the above domains as compared to a "non-dance" control population. Studies included systematic reviews, randomized controlled studies, and long-term perspective studies. Most of the subjects in the studies were considered "elderly," which was generally defined as 65 years or older. However, the benefits of DI on executive function were also demonstrated in primary school children. Overall, the studies demonstrated that DI provided benefits in several physical and psychological parameters as well as executive function as compared with regular exercise alone. Impressive findings were that dance was associated with increased brain volume and function and neurotrophic growth function. The populations studied included subjects who were "healthy" older adults and children who had dementia, cognitive dysfunction, Parkinson's disease, or depression.
