Dance and Music for Parkinson’s Disease: Moving from Anecdotal to Empirical Evidence: LORRAINE KALIA, Division of Neurology | University of Toronto, CA

Parkinson’s disease is a chronic, progressive neurodegenerative disorder that significantly impacts physical, emotional, and cognitive well-being. Dance – uniquely integrating music, physical activity, and artistic expression – has emerged as a compelling arts-based therapy that engages motor, cognitive, emotional, and social domains. This lecture will explore both anecdotal reports and empirical evidence supporting the use of dance in Parkinson’s disease, examining potential mechanisms of benefit. A critical review of clinical trials will be presented, highlighting methodological limitations and gaps in evidence. Based on this critique, the lecture will propose key elements for more rigorous research to better assess and refine the therapeutic potential of dance in Parkinson’s disease care.

Lorraine Kalia is an Associate Professor in the Division of Neurology at the University of Toronto in Canada. She is a movement disorders neurologist and neuroscientist whose clinical work and research program focus on improving the understanding and treatment of Parkinson’s disease.
