Brief summary (registry, in English)
The goal of the present study is to evaluate the effects of a dance-based concept entitled MS Ballroom Fitness (developed in Denmark by PT Elisabeth Dalsgaard) in persons with multiple sclerosis (pwMS). A total of 88 pwMS will be enrolled and equally randomized into an intervention group or a control-waitlist group. Those in the intervention group will undertake 7 weeks of MS Ballroom Fitness, with 2 sessions per week. The investigators assume that balance, walking capacity as well as well-being will be improved.
