Dance classes for thinking and movement in older adults
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether weekly dance classes can help improve thinking skills (like planning and focus) and physical abilities in older adults who have noticed some memory or mood changes. You would take part in a group dance program, and the researchers will track your progress over time.
