Why Argentine Tango?

The Tango is more than a dance, it is the music, culture, a whole lifestyle of its own. Tango is widely popular and connects people of different nationalities and cultures all over the world. It is a magnificent and healthy obsession making you feel good about yourself. Argentine Tango has been employed in treating Parkinson´s and Alzheimer´s disease (more details are available on Google). It improves cardiovascular fitness, posture and walk; increases mobility, balance, stride length and core strength. It provides a social platform for people to meet, thus improving their social and communication skills. Tango teaches us how to get to know ourselves and others better. It opens new ways of self-expression.
