Tango Stride, a different kind of tango, is helping people with limited mobility who aren’t afraid to break barriers and push their doubts far behind when faced with obstacles.
“You kind of go, ‘what am I going to do?’ And I hear about this tango class and, my goodness tango? Give me the rose, I will go,” said student Erin Musser.
“Today, I was actually standing up with most of my weight with just me doing it on my tippy toes. When you do that, that helps with depression because you could feel pretty isolated when you’re in a chair like this and when you get to come to a class like this with people and laugh, it just makes you feel better, mentally as well as physically,” said Musser.
“For some people, it’s a way for them to get stronger, especially if a lot of our students come in wheelchairs, and so they have to be able to stand for, I tell people even five seconds, and we can work on standing and for some people, we can work on helping them stand stronger,” said Condrea. “It happened instantly. I got medical help within pretty much the first half hour after the stroke and they were ready to call in a chaplain and read me my last rites,” said Jones.“It’s brought life back to different parts of my body that I thought would never work again, based on what I was told,” Annie said.
