TANGOLATES™ is a new, revolutionary system that combines the best of Tango with the best of Pilates in a series of exercises specially designed for two people and choreographed to the music of Tango.
TANGOLATES™ originated at the rehabilitation ward of the largest public hospital in Buenos Aires. This rehabilitation ward is regularly visited by patients with degenarative motor system dysfunctions.
You should know that these patients lose a large part of their capacity to coordinate moves by themselves over time. So, we designed some exercises to follow the movements of the instructor working with them.
You should also know that Parkinson patients are capable of more fluid moves when they follow light and/or sound. So, we choreographed exercises to the rhythm of Tango, a 2 x 4 beat they found easier to follow.
Putting these two things together; that is, working, first, with another person; and second, working to the sound of Tango, made the rest follow naturally.
And this is how my TANGOLATES™ was born.
Today TANGOLATES™ is not limited to Parkinson patients. Rather, it is rapidly becoming the new fitness craze for fitness trainers, ballerinas, and your average client. Yes, your clients will love it!
