Tango is Good for the Brain!

An article entitled "Steps to a Nimble Mind: Physical and Mental Exercise Help Keep the Brain Fit," reports on a study conducted at McGill University in Montreal that concludes that physical activity such as dancing tango, helps to improve brain funtion. According to the study: "....researchers found that the tango may be better than walking for improving execution of complex tasks becasue it incorporates elements found in standard neurological rehabilitation programs. It is also fun and social. Participants, ages 62 to 90, were randomly assigned to a walking group or a tango group, meeting for 2 hours twice a week for 10 weeks. The tango group improved in balance, posture, and motor coordination, as well as cognition."
