This article is important because it alerts dance teachers and studios to a potential new application of their services. It also provides an opening for some dance obsessed researcher to get a grant to study whether Tango or Foxtrot produces better balance in Parkinson's patients. As a criticism, the article never mentions which kind of Tango was being used in the study. As readers of ExploreDance.com know, American Tango and Argentine Tango are very different, even if they come from the same root. The hold and posture used in each are especially different, and this could very well make a difference in a study of balance. While I think Mr. Nagourney should have dug a little deeper here, this omission is not entirely his doing because the abstract for the study he was reporting on did not mention which kind of Tango was used in the study either.
