Do you have Parkinson's disease, or other balance problems? Would you like to combat your fear of falling?

Please Note:

https://tangoforbalance.wordpress.com/ is the new revised website for Tango for Balance.

Medical research has shown that learning the tango is good for problems of balance, and in particular, management
of some of the symptoms of Parkinson's Disease. It is also great fun and a way of exercising to lovely music.
Expect a lot of individual attention and a warm welcome from Anthony, your teacher.

 Fay Laflin is now leading Tango for Balance classes in Essex. (07958649481). tangodancelife@gmail.com

 

There is no need to come with a partner, however you may wish to do this with your carer.  It's a lovely activity to share.
So of course carers are welcome and they can join the class for free.  

See below for a detailed introduction.

Fay will come and teach tango for Balance at your local support group or association.
The suggested maximum number is 6 couples (12 people) - individual attention is crucial, and with larger numbers two
teachers are necessary.

Personal tango for balance training is also available: 
Fay or Anthony will come to your house with music if required.  
Ring 0208 801 8577 or 07958649481 to arrange a session.
