Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Despite the benefits associated with individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) engaging in pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) programs, the benefits diminish by 6 months. A new innovative approach is needed to increase motivation to exercise and to minimize diminution of effect. Dance is a fun and interactive activity, which has shown benefits in other populations, such as Parkinson's disease and stroke. The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of dance in individuals with COPD following PR.
