Tango Therapy

I think Tango Therapy is good for seniors and I have two reason for that.
First, I think dancing Tango is good opportunity to have seniors experience a different culture. At present, we can almost do what we want to, but I guess the past generation couldn't afford to take lessons and have several accomplishments and had engaged in their work.
Second, Tango Therapy has particular effects that cannot be seen in other exercises. Because I didn't know very much about Tango Therapy, I gathered information on the Internet. According to studies made in Washington University (EUA) , to dance Tango improves balance more than other exercises. This is because in order to make the marvelous steps, a lot of balance is necessary. There is a fact that the rhythms of Tango require a lot of coordination and it is precisely for this reason that enormous benefits are produced in patients with Parkinson's disease. For people with Alzheimer's disease, Tango Therapy is very helpful as it requires coordination and memory to learn the steps. I think, therefore, it is much better to dance Tango than to do a lot of other exercises.
