Yes, added styles there. Kata's can be quite dance-y depending on the style. Also, to be contrary old dude into martial arts all his life, I don't really consider many head bashing 'styles' now to be 'arts'. Martial, sure.
Boxing is more dance than katas

Can you link anything on the subject? Sounds like a simple device you could own at home and spend 10m a day on balancing.
Really don't even need a device. I practice balancing on one leg with my eyes closed while brushing my teeth every morning (I've progressively made it harder over time). I mostly do this to keep up my balance skills for mountain biking and it's helped quite a bit, especially during winter when I ride less.
1. Arms crossed on your chest 2. Eyes closed 3. Swinging your head left and right, like an exaggerated “no”

The research results aren’t surprising since dance is more complicated than something like HIIT. Martial arts training would likely have a similar effect unless sparring involved lots of hits to the head.
When movement becomes dance?
Dance is the "relation" between movement and meaning. The key is whether someone can put it / sense it .
someone = a dancer or the-other-kind-of-dancer-called-spectator
meaning = very-very abstract. Like, even concentration can be meaningDance vs basketball or some other high coordination/skill activity might have less disparity than say dance vs. exercise bike.
I don't have any science behind this, but it makes sense that training more complex motions would trigger greater brain improvements. Dance vs basketball or some other high coordination/skill activity might have less disparity than say dance vs. exercise bike.
Update: what absolutely killed me is that we would run through a complex step two or three times, and we were expected to be able to practice at home. I didn't understand what we were doing while we were doing it, there was no way I could reproduce it.
