"Why tango and not another dance? "In general, all types of dance have the capacity to generate well-being in people, both physically and psychically. But tango has conditions that make it special".
"First of all, it is a dance of improvisation, and this allows the free expression of feelings and emotions. In addition, it is a dance of intense embrace and this generates the release of neurotransmitters and neurohormones, which favour different functions at a physiological and cerebral level. Finally, it is a dance of deep intimacy and communication with the partner, which promotes exchange and socialisation.
