Partnered tango dance can improve balance and gait in individuals with Parkinson disease (PD). Partnered dance may allow individuals with PD to challenge balance more than non-partnered dance. Alternatively, partnered practice could reduce balance gains because the patient may rely on the partner as a balance aid when challenged. We compared effects of partnered to non-partnered dance on balance and mobility in 39 people (11 females) with mild-moderate PD (Hoehn & Yahr stages I-III). Participants were randomly assigned to partnered or non-partnered tango and attended 1-hour classes twice per week, completing 20 lessons within 10 weeks. Balance and gait were evaluated in the weeks immediately before, immediately after, and one month after the intervention. Both groups significantly improved on the Berg Balance scale, comfortable and fast as possible walking velocity and cadence. Improvements were maintained at the one-month follow-up. The non-partnered class improved as much as the partnered class; however, Partner participants expressed more enjoyment and interest in continuing.
