Zusammenfassung:Objectives: Among different exercise models proposed for individuals with Parkinson's disease (IwPD), the popularity of traditional forms of dance is increasing. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Sardinian folk dance ( Ballu Sardu , BS) on functional performance and motor and nonmotor symptoms in IwPD. Design: Single-blind, randomized controlled pilot trial. Settings: Outpatient health clinic. Subjects and interventions: Twenty IwPD (13M, 7F; 67.4 ± 6.1 years) were randomly assigned to BS ( n  = 10) or usual care ( n  = 10). The dance program consisted of two sessions/week, 90-min/class, for 12 weeks. Outcome measures: Motor and nonmotor symptoms, as well as functional performance, were evaluated using different questionnaires and tests such as the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Part-III (UPDRS-III), 6-min walking test (6MWT), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Timed Up-and-Go (TUG) test, Five Times Sit-to-Stand Test (FTSST), Back Scratch Test (BST), Sit-and-Reach Test (SRT), instrumented gait analysis, Parkinson's Disease Fatigue Scale (PFS-16), Beck Depression Inventory, Starkstein Apathy Scale (SAS), and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) scale. Results: Repeated-measures analysis of variance revealed significant Time × Group interactions for UPDRS-III and functional variables such as the 6MWT, BBS, FTSST, TUG (all, p
