This research aims to discuss the relationships of dance in its integrative and social
process, in people who live with PD. Analyzing the relationships between Parkinson's
disease, socialization and dance. In this study, we sought to understand the impact of the
disease on their social relationships from the social reality of people with Parkinson's and
the effect of dancing in the context of the Baila Parkinson Project on these relationships.
A semi-structured interview was used with questions about the subject's perception of
their context, with emphasis on socialization issues, in relation to living with PD and
entering and participating in the dance therapy project. In the reports collected during the
research and observation of the participants, informal conversations and targeted dance
activities, we realized that in addition to building an extremely empathetic environment,
the exchange of experiences allows students to feel welcomed, contributing to the
improvement of their quality of life, as well as -being and social interaction.
