abstract
A decreased gait speed in older adults can lead to dependency when the individuals are no longer able to
participate in activities or do things for themselves. Thirty-seven senior apartment residents (31 females;
Mean age ¼ 80.6 years; SD ¼ 8.9) with lower extremity pain/stiffness participated in a feasibility and
preliminary efficacy study of 12 weeks (24 sessions). Healthy-Steps dance therapy compared to a wait-list
control group. Small improvements in gait speed ([ES] ¼ 0.33) were noted for participants completing
19e24 dance sessions. Improvements in gait speed measured by a 10 Meter Walk Test (0.0517 m/s)
exceeded 0.05 m/s, a value deemed to be meaningful in community dwelling older adults. These feasibility
