The Healing Therapy of Tango

Great article from Reuters on the healing properties of tango!  (Thanks to Dana Depp for bringing to our attention!)  We knew tango was a marvel, and that the intricate dance has the ability to get people re-connecting with themselves and with others (see our tango guide Camille Cusumano's book Tango: An Argentine Love Story for more on that topic).  But that it can have an impact on treatments ranging from couples' counseling to phobias, from Parkinson's to physical therapy is novel to us...perhaps not surprising, but new news indeed.  The World Tango Championships may have just ended, but now we have a full year in which to practice putting our best foot forward.
