This study explores how **hula dancing** might improve life for people with Parkinson's disease (PD), a condition that affects movement. Over 24 weeks, participants will join hula classes once a week for an hour. The study divides participants into two groups: one starts hula right away for 24 weeks, and the other begins after 12 weeks. Classes will be held at the Queen's Medical Center and led by experienced teachers.
Participants will go through three in-person visits: at the beginning, after 12-14 weeks, and at 26-28 weeks. These visits involve filling out quality of life surveys and performing movement tests. If participants agree, video recordings may be taken for marketing and sharing study results, but not for research.
**Key Points:**
- **Time Commitment:** The study lasts 24 weeks with weekly one-hour classes.
- **Visits Required:** Three in-person visits are needed for assessments.
- **Eligibility:** Must have PD, be 18 or older, and able to participate in the program.
The study aims to enroll 30-40 participants and is mainly descriptive, meaning it's exploring possibilities rather than proving a hypothesis.
