Self-esteem and self-confidence
Tango is a dance that positively reinforces self-esteem and self-confidence.
Stress, anxiety, depression
Tango requires a strong connection with a partner, synchronisation and improvisation. This helps to focus on the present moment and mentally switch off from the feelings of stress and distress.
Couples therapy
The relationship build between two tango dancers is one of trust. The interaction of two people dancing tango reflects the ideal relationship partners should have in life. Part of learning to dance tango is learning to give gentle feedback only when asked.
