This is the temporary home of a site dedicated to exploring Argentine tango dancing for persons with Parkinson's Disease. I'm Mata Stevenson, tango student and dancer in the 1990s and again in the 2010s. I have PD, but medicines and exercise, particularly dance, have kept me moving, working part-time, traveling, all those things that I thought I would never do again. I don't think I ever met a dance I didn't like (even ballroom tango), and I was studying the various ballroom dances until the Argentine tango just took over. How fascinating it is to now find out that this form of dancing could improve function, as well as general well-being for PD sufferers!
