Numerous studies have found that dance can provide physiological and psychological benefits to people who are both healthy or who have conditions, such as dementia.
A 2021 study found evidence that participating in dance improves both physical and mental wellbeing. It also provides relief from tension, aggression, and anxiety. It can also increase a person’s capacity for interaction, pleasure, fun, and impulsiveness.
Studies looking at the impact of dance on people living with dementia have found that dance can stimulate social interaction, improve mood, and reduce anxiety, agitation, and depressive symptoms.
