Tango for
Active Ageing

PROJECT OVERVIEW

STEP-BY-STEP: Tango for Active Ageing is an innovative European initiative dedicated to enhancing the physical and mental well-being of senior citizens through the art of Argentine tango. By integrating movement, music, and social connection, the project addresses critical challenges like social isolation, reduced mobility, and cognitive decline. Backed by scientific research, we use tango as a structured therapeutic tool to improve balance and coordination while potentially preventing the onset of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and dementia.

Acronym: Step by step.
Call: ERASMUS-SPORT- 2025-SSCP- Small Scale Partnerships.
Durantion: 12 months.
Funding: Co funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union.

➡️STEP BY STEP operates locally in Spain, Italy and France, but the lessons we learn are intended for a much wider European audience.​By documenting our methods and outcomes, we hope to support other organisations that wish to integrate tango into their care or sports programmes for seniors.​In the long term, we aim to contribute to policy discussions on how culture and sport can support healthy, dignified ageing.​​#europeanimpact #HealthyAgeing #sportandhealth #culturalwellbeing #ErasmusPlus ...

➡️Safety is at the heart of every STEP BY STEP session.​Our instructors designed adaptive tango techniques that allow participants to dance with support, sit for parts of the class or focus mainly on upper body movement if needed.​​We pay close attention to balance, fatigue and confidence, adjusting the pace so that no one feels rushed or left behind.​​🔗Learn more at stepbystep-project.eu/#SafeExercise #fallsprevention #adaptedtango #ActiveAgeing #inclusivedance ...
