There’s growing interest in how ballet can support healthy aging, but surprisingly little research has focused on independent, healthy older adults who choose to take ballet classes on their own.
While previous studies have shown improvements in balance, strength, and gait in adults aged 50+, many have lacked comparison groups or were based on virtual classes.
This left an important question unanswered: Do older adults who regularly take ballet classes function differently, especially in ways related to fall risk, compared to non-dancers?
