Nov. 28:  Today was Tea and Tango.  What is the connection with Parkinson’s you might ask?  Well, the rhythmic, back and forward movements of the dance are apparently beneficial to the Parkinson’s brain.  Some time ago two professional dance instructors in Halifax offered very low cost (even free) lessons to the Parkinson’s community.  As well, from two to four other professional dancers come out for each session to assist with the instructing.  At the end of each session we have tea and a variety of cookies and cake, etc.  It is fun, and for some of us, it may be the big social event of the week.  Are we healthier, I’m not positive? Are we happier?  Yes.
