Parkinson's disease (PD) may present motor deficits to the elderly to maintain functional balance. The study evaluated the balance of the elderly with PD through a sample of 34 individuals divided into 2 groups, conventional physiotherapy (GF = 17) and physiotherapy and senior dance (GD = 17). The UPDRS, EEB and Tinetti scales were used in GF and GD. For the evaluation sample, there was no difference between DS and the GF about the balance in the scores of the applied scales.
