There is mounting evidence that COVID-19 infection is related to neuroinflammation, which can lead to the development of neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s Diseases. Holistic, mind-body tools and techniques commonly used in dance therapy directly support neural mechanisms that may help prevent or slow this process. This article reviews recent biological research on the development and progress of COVID-19 and outlines the connection between infection and neurodegenerative illness, while indicating a clear role for dance therapy in pandemic response and recovery.
