Tango Therapy Project’s Guide to Our Series Offerings:

TTP classes include dancing with different partners. Participants who need one-to-one support may receive it from an accompanying care partner, trained volunteer, instructor, or fellow participant. Please contact TTP before registering to discuss support needs.

Older Adults

Enjoy music, movement, and connection while learning Argentine tango in a welcoming, social class. Older adults with a range of movement abilities are welcome—no dance experience needed. Participants should be able to walk at least 20 feet without assistance.

Parkinson’s

Explore adapted Argentine tango in a class designed for people living with Parkinson’s. Guided movement and partnered dancing offer opportunities to explore rhythm, coordination, and connection in a social setting. Care partners are welcome to attend.

Post-Stroke

Rediscover the joy of moving to music in an adapted tango class for people who have experienced a stroke. Explore tango through guided movement and partnered dancing, with opportunities to learn at your own pace and connect with others. Care partners are welcome to attend.

Volunteer Trainings

Help make tango accessible and welcoming! Learn how to support participants in TTP’s adapted tango classes through hands-on practice, an introduction to tango, and guidance on being an attentive dance partner.
