Dance Training for Developmental Disabilities
Stopped early · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Developmental Disability
In brief
the purpose of this current study is to examine the changes in postural stability in adult individuals with developmental disabilities following exposure to a college based integrative dance training course. Integrative dance may be defined as dance that encourages the participation of all individuals, regardless of ability, supporting and celebrating these differences as a community. It is hypothesized that a significantly reduced body sway will be observed in participants following a college based integrative dance training course. Furthermore, in participants that continue dancing in the program over multiple semesters, it is hypothesized that there will be an inverse relationship between body sway and dance participation over time (IE: As participants dance more, body sway will continue to decrease).
