Conclusion
dementia
Tango interventions proved effective in enhancing gait speed and in mitigating the decline in functional mobility and ADL skill capacities. These results seem to originate from three elements: the presence of music, the performance of dance and the particular characteristics of tango. Interventions in therapeutic tango are easily implementable and well received. Providing older people with dementia access to non-pharmacological interventions may be a successful strategy to prevent functional decline. This study aims to contribute to a change in perspective on aging and dementia, as even in advanced stages of dementia it is possible to live well and dance tango.
