Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Science
  • Community Health
  • Kinesiology

Background:

  • Community-based dance programs offer significant benefits for individuals post-stroke, including improved physical, psychosocial, and cognitive function.
  • Enhancing community participation is a key outcome of dance interventions for stroke survivors.
  • Optimal structuring of these programs is crucial for maximizing benefits and participation, yet remains under-researched.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore stakeholders' perspectives on optimally structuring community-based dance classes for individuals with chronic stroke.
  • To identify key elements for successful community dance programs tailored to stroke survivors.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative descriptive approach using focus groups with three stakeholder groups: persons post-stroke (n=9), rehabilitation therapists (n=6), and dance instructors (n=8).
  • Focus groups were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using the DEPICT model of collaborative qualitative analysis.

Main Results:

  • Three primary themes emerged: the class environment, the flow of the class, and the qualities of the dance instructor.
  • Dance instructor's pedagogical skills and teaching philosophy are integral, directly mediating the environment and class flow.
  • Instructor's communication skills and adaptability are paramount for program success.

Conclusions:

  • Recommendations can inform the development of practical community-based dance programs that optimize health benefits and meet the needs of people post-stroke.
  • A safe, inviting environment fosters social connections and confidence.
  • Class structure should balance predictability and variability, with classes held twice weekly for 3 months (1-2 hours each).
