Objective The aim of this study is to explore the impact of internally guided (IG) versus externally guided (EG) adapted tango (AT) dance training (i.e., dancing the IG “Leader” role or the EG “Follower” role), on motor and non-motor functions in individuals with Parkinson’s disease and freezing of gait (PD-FOG). The “Leader” role, a proxy for IG m...
