STEP-BY-STEP project publishes new compendium on tango and healthy ageing
The STEP-BY-STEP project has published a new compendium bringing together evidence and good practice on tango and dance interventions for older adults, as part of its work to develop an accessible model for active ageing. The public deliverable, now available online, reviews research on the physical, cognitive, emotional and social benefits of dance, with a particular focus on tango as a tool to support older people’s well-being. It also draws on existing initiatives and practical examples to help shape the project’s own STEP-BY-STEP intervention model, training programme and handbook. Project partners say the publication is an important milestone because it provides the evidence base for the next stages of the initiative, including the design of adapted sessions for seniors and the future training of tango instructors. The document is available on the project website. The STEP-BY-STEP compendium on tango and dance interventions for elderly well-being is available here: https://stepbystep-project.eu/results/
