Abstract:
Commissioned in the spring of 2017 by Scottish Ballet and Dance Base, this mixed methods evaluation had a broad focus: to interrogate the perceived cultural, social and physical benefits of the Dance for Parkinson’s Scotland (DfPS) programme for individuals with Parkinson’s taking part. Data collection took place over a period of two months at the studios of Scottish Ballet (Glasgow) and Dance Base (Edinburgh). This report presents the aim, methods, and key findings of the evaluation, situated within a wider discussion.
An analysis of the data suggests that the DfPS programme is beneficial for participants in a number of interconnected ways, including perceived cultural, social and physical benefits.
