A recent study by the University of Eastern Finland and Balettakademien Stockholm found that performing in a dance company and being involved in its activities play a significant role in the identity and disease-related identity negotiation in people with Parkinson's disease.
Reviewed by Megan Craig, M.Sc.Aug 25 2023 Performing in the dance company and sharing the process of performing with others created a strong group identity for the dancers with Parkinson's disease. The dancers' experiences of watching and being watched provided them with novel ways of expressing themselves and being seen without their identity being associated with Parkinson's disease.
The dancers considered cohesion, division of responsibilities, peer support, acceptance and trust as essential aspects of functioning within the group. The study suggests that membership in the company and group identity also enabled the dancers to negotiate their personal identity.

Parkinson's disease gene variant found in some people of African ancestryA gene variant found almost exclusively in the genomes of people of African ancestry increases the risk of developing Parkinson's disease, according to an international study of nearly 198,000 participants with this genetic background. Published in The Lancet Neurology, the study results suggest the risk may be linked to a variant in the gene encoding β-glucocerebrosidase (GBA1), a protein known to control how cells in the body recycle proteins.
