This symposium is designed to catch conference-goers up on the latest evidence regarding use of dance within neurorehabilitation. While primarily following a lecture format, the presenters will lead participants in brief experiences with specific types of dance that have been shown feasible and/or efficacious for use as neurorehabilitation modalities.

Learning Objectives:

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