TANGO…
The Fastest Way To Convert A Foe To A Friend
Psychotherapy research has discovered that in the length of time that we are in a Tango embrace there is a major therapeutic benefit from this physical contact to our bodies and minds. When we learn Argentine Tango, these are the benefits and the lessons:
Tango Lesson 1
Oxytocin is a neurotransmitter that acts on the brain’s emotional center, promoting feelings of contentment while reducing anxiety and stress. Research suggests that it has a civilizing effect on males, making them more affectionate and better at forming relationships and social bonding. When we embrace in Tango, oxytocin, is released by our pituitary gland, lowering our heart rate and releasing the hormone cortisol which causes stress and heart problems
Tango Lesson 2
The Tango embrace strengthens the immune system by producing an emotional charge that stimulates the thymus gland. This regulates our body’s production of white blood cells, thereby keeping us more healthy
