 note = {40020879741, According to WHO, physical inactivity is the fourth leading risk factor for global mortality.
In an aging society, preventing dementia and falls in the elderly becomes a global issue.
Physical activity prevents dementia and falls in the elderly. Recent researches prove that
dance improves balance and cognitive functions and may reduce the risk of dementia and
falls. In this paper, scientific articles that reported positive effects of dance on balance and
cognitive functions were reviewed. The genres of dance used as an intervention are social
dance, fork dance, and contemporary dance. Some elements of dance mentioned as positive
effects on balance and cognitive functions are music, characteristics of movements in dance,
use of space, a constant change of partner or space, and improvisation in contemporary
dance. Further research is needed to compare the effect of different dance genres to
identity more effective dance movements to improve balance and cognitive function on the
elderly and more study on brain function during dance observation and dance performance
are needed.},
