Tangolates
Tangolates (pronunciation: tan-go-lates) is a form of exercise that combines the dance movements of Tango with the physical conditioning techniques of Pilates.
Etymology
The term "Tangolates" is a portmanteau word that combines "Tango", a type of partner dance that originated in the 1880s along the River Plate, the natural border between Argentina and Uruguay, and "Pilates", a physical fitness system developed in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates.
Description
Tangolates is a method of exercise that uses the principles of concentration, control, centering, flow, precision, and breathing from Pilates, and combines them with the rhythmic movements and passionate spirit of Tango. The result is a workout that strengthens the body, develops flexibility, and improves balance and coordination.
Benefits
Practicing Tangolates can provide a range of health benefits. These include improved posture, increased core strength, enhanced flexibility, and better balance. It can also help to reduce stress and improve mental well-being, thanks to the mindful nature of the movements and the joy of dancing.
