Patients with Parkinson's have always had tremors (shaking) at any time in almost all parts of the body making it difficult to perform hand movements or walking. Researchers found the Parkinson's tremor can be reduced if the patient is practicing dancing.
Scientists found that dancing can help solve the problem of Parkinson's and had a great effect on the sufferer. Dancing can help develop the mindset of someone in solving problems including Parkinson's patients are often difficult to articulate thoughts.
"We watched people dance in a laboratory and then perform troubleshooting. Various types of dance help them with different kinds of problem-solving," said Dr Peter Lovatt, head of Dance Psychology Lab at the University of Hertfordshire as reported by the Guardian.
Dr. Lovatt has been practicing ballet, tap, jazz, and worked as a professional dancer.
According to him, the kind of dance improvisation helps to divergent thinking (broadly) so that people are able to solve some of the answers to masalahyang there. Meanwhile, when engaged in a dance that is very structured, it helps to think convergent (centralized) and try to
find a single answer to the problem.
"We know that Parkinson's disease can cause divergent thinking process. So we thought, if using an improvised dance to groups of patients with Parkinson's, we may see an increase in the skills of thinking differently on them. And that's what we did see," he explained.
Dr Lovatt subsequently admitted he wanted to learn whether the dance had an impact on neural processing for people with Parkinson's. One possibility is that when dancing, people develop new neural pathways to overcome the blockage of dopamine (the hormone that makes happy).
Researchers examined several cases of view of self-esteem of a ballet dancer in a training. What they found was that girls ballet dancer in her mid teens have lower self-esteem than non dancer girl.
There are two explanations for this. First, the girls inferiority choose classical ballet as it seeks to reinforce their low self-image. Second, ballet training can be very humble dignity of a girl because they are constantly told that they are not doing it correctly and the problem of the body shape is very important in classical ballet.
"We are trying to test the hypothesis in the laboratory by comparing the data of 600 dancers in a dance group is different. So we're comparing dancer classical ballet with classical dancer India. We also compare them with dancers Burlesque very pleased to show a fuller body. If found the case of girls inferiority choose ballet, it is not much we can do about it. But if the classical ballet lead to eating disorders and self-harm, then it's something very important we must be cautious, "said Dr. Lovatt.
