The project in Greece 

In 2024, the crossed glances project between France and Greece got off the ground,

thanks to an Erasmus + grant.

After several months of preparation and reflection, the project kicked off

when the Greek team took part in Therapeutic Tango training in Dijon, France, from 11^th to 14^th March 2024.

Following to this initiation,from on Thursday 22^nd March 2024 onwards,

the Greek team has set up

therapeutic Tango workshops in Thessaloniki!

Persephoni Venardi, Thomas Poucet, Anthoula Tsolaki, Themis Parastatidis

16 Tango workshops were given in Thessaloniki,

16 Greek dance workshops were given in Dijon.

The projects took part and were awarded at the Tangueros Seniors Olympiads.

The research teams are refining their conclusions

on the comparative power of these two dances.

But there's no doubt about it, the images prove it...

Sirtaki, as well as Tango,

bring joy and give the elderly their mobility back!

What if, more than Tango or Sirtaki, Dance in general was beneficial?

What if Music and Dance awakened the creative capacities of the elderly?

The story continues, based on these two new questions!  

"Spreading Rodolfo Dinzel's tango to many places in the world

means spreading the feeling of empathy and closeness through tango, and passing this on to older people is wonderful".

This is the testimony of Persephoni Venardi, a tango teacher trained in the Dinzel method,

who, accompanied by musician Hermann Mayer, will be leading the workshops in Greece,

What's on?

...

It is essential to settle the project in Greece.

With a transversal perspective ...

between  the Dinzel Tango masters...

 

Maurice Emmanuel and Etienne Jules Marey, both at the origin of our project,

wrote together the first film in History dedicated to Greek dance, in 1894.

From ancient times to the present day, a single language ...

Music induces dance ...

And dance is life ...
