While dance classes have gained popularity to reduce the risk of falls, in-person classes may be inaccessible. Online classes provide feasible solutions, but are limited by the lower intensity required by the virtual environment. Blood flow restriction (BFR) provides a safe way to mimic a higher intensity and promote greater strength. This study investigates whether the addition of BFR to 12-weeks of online ballet-modern (Graham and Lim\u00f3n) dance classes can effectively increase strength and dynamic balance among older women.\n                    <jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold>\n                    18 females were randomized into BFR and control groups. The BFR group wore 2-inch elasticized cuffs on their proximal thighs throughout the 75-minute Zoom dance classes. Strength and dynamic balance were assessed pre, mid and post using the 30-second Sit to Stand (30STS), Calf-Raise Senior (CRS) and the modified Star Excursion Balance Test (mSEBT). Time effects were assessed for each group using the Friedman\u2019s test with Wilcoxon Signed-Rank post hoc (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.05).\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Those using BFR significantly improved their strength at mid and post (30STS: pre-mid\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.012, pre-post\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.020; CRS: mid-post\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.018; pre-post\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.050), whereas control group participants only showed improvements on the CRS (mid-post\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.012, pre-post\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.008).
