This study investigates the impact of an 8-week ballet-based dance therapy on people with Parkinson's disease. It aims to assess the effect of ballet on motor and non-motor symptoms, such as balance, cognitive function, functional capacity, and quality of life. The study will provide insights into the potential of ballet therapy as an effective, non-pharmacological treatment for Parkinson's disease.
