Studies show that partner dancing, particularly the Argentine tango, offers significant improvements in physical and cognitive health and a sense of purpose to the elderly. The Tango Forever organization brings Argentine Tango classes to under-funded senior centers throughout New York City’s five borough. The regular, weekly classes are expanding to more and more centers throughout the city.

A rooftop poolside fund-raising soiree on Manhattan’s Upper East Side celebrated the progress made to-date. For more information or donations call 646-998-5830 or visit Tango-Forever.org.
