Balance, Sensorimotor, and Cognitive Performance in Long-Year Expert Senior Ballroom Dancers by Jan-Christoph Kattenstroth, Tobias Kalisch, Izabela Kolankowska, Hubert R. Dinse

“…In line with this notion, it has been shown that several years of amateur dancing experience can exert beneficial effects not only on balance and posture but also on tactile, motor, and cognitive functions in older people. This raises the question of whether an even more extensive schedule of dancing, including competitive tournaments, would further enhance these positive effects. …”
