" “I really want to showcase the power of dance,” he means both in an aesthetic sense and for wellbeing, too. One field where there is promising progress, for example, is dance interventions for people with Parkinson’s. “And there are a number of studies showing that dance is more powerful than exercise and medication to alleviate depressive symptoms,” says Orgs. The tendency in science, he adds, is to research simpler things like walking or running, because they’re easily controlled. “But they’re not the most powerful interventions, so there is a need to better understand the complexity through projects like this.”"
