If you thought tango is only about passion, oomph and attitude then think again!
Even though tango can look like it is more about steps, but more than anything it is about presence and communication. You have to be really present because socially it is all improvised, which means if you are leading, you have to be able to communicate your lead.
In order to communicate, you have to listen to your partner so that you know how to lead. Both as a leader and a follower you need to listen to the other person, you need to be present. It is the same as having a conversation on the dance floor. Even when you are leading, you have to be very respectful to the person you are leading. The first time some old people came for their tango class, they came in their baggy pants, T-shirts, etc.
Gradually they became little nicer, after a few times they were wearing nice shoes and women started to wear little jewellery, some make-up. To me, it says a lot about how you feel about yourself and to me that was a fantastic thing.”
Says Dr. Suman, Associate Professor, Neurology, “All these forms of dance therapies and other forms of music therapies relax the patients, help in improving the blood circulation and thereby, when one is happy, it also increases the neurotransmitters in the brain, which are essential for normal functioning of the body. Maybe in that manner there is an increase in the acetylcholine and dopamine, which are the two neurotransmitters responsible for Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. This may increase and thus help these patients”.
Tango requires a person to apply their mind, which might just enhance one’s memory, but even if the experts are wrong, it will at least add a dash of spice to one’s life!
