About the Study
Dance interventions based on Dance for PD may have effects on target groups beyond neurodegenerative disorders. At the Stockholm Centre for Dependency Disorders, older adults with substance use have been offered dance as a complement to the ordinary addiction care. A pilot study has been conducted, and the results will be published soon.
This webinar focuses on the results of the study, and on the artistic or aesthetic approaches of the dance teacher.
