It’s definitely a good thing for senior people to dance. However ,I don’t think there will be a lot Japanese old people try this “Tango therapy”. As we discussed at class, most Japanese senior people are too shy to dance with sexy young men and women. I think group dance is more suitable for them.
Group dance is very popular in China. Senior people from the same community get together every night in the park or square and dance together. Unlike tango, group dance won’t let them feel uncomfortable because they are dancing with many people. Moves of group dance are very simple so that senior people won’t hurt themselves. Whatever they are a good dancer or not they all can enjoy it.
Here is a video about group dance in a Chinese city
