These days, ballroom dancing is divided into two separate categories: international ballroom and international Latin, which includes more Latin-based music and dress.
It can be learned quite easily by anybody and does not have any limitations in terms of age, weight, or strength. However, despite its seemingly low entry requirements, ballroom dancing grants the dancer a lot of strength and cognitive development.
Nowadays more and more Parkinson’s patients around the world complement their conventional treatment with regular ballroom sessions at medical dance institutions, which allow them to benefit from the practice of controlled physical movements while having fun.
