As the PhD DJ dude on Tips,the effects of dancing on aging variables should not be undervalued.Never mind the questionable correlations but personal reports would attest to the social,emotional,and cognitive effects on the human brain.Periopheral induced activities such as dancing affect brain functioning.It would be unethical to deny actitivities to the elderly just to seek controlled experimental results. But there is evidence that the controlled rhythmically movements of some dances like the tango have assisted some elderly to manage Parkinson's. Btw,I seem to be getting lots of gigs during this economic crisis. Michael Sylvester,PhD,DJ Daytona Beach,Florida
