Evidence is growing to support the use of dance pedagogical methods as feasible and effective neurorehabilitation interventions within a variety of disease states. This symposium will review existing evidence for use of dance methods such as - but not limited to - improvisation, Argentine Tango, and interactive art generation within neurorehabilitation.

Learning Objectives:

• Establish the rationale for incorporating dance arts within neurorehabilitation.
• Distinguish between dance and other activity-based practices.
• Discuss evidence supporting use of dance paradigms in clinical practice.
