Understanding

"Research has suggested that between 60 and 70 percent of all meaning is derived from nonverbal behavior." * 

Too often we find ourselves 'lost for words' when trying to communicate with our fellow human beings and our abilities to connect non-verbally are not sufficiently developed - especially while information technologies are keeping our bodies increasingly at distance.

There is evidence-based research which suggests that tango can make substantial contributions to interpersonal communication skills and team building development. Hence, we teach tango as communication in motion training by means of especially developed and structured social dance classes.

At DalstonTango we develop and offer specific course and workshop programs for businesses and organisations '@Work', for families and couples '@Home' and in partnership with educational providers '@School'. 

We are planning to commence with these offers in the third DalstonTango season (see respective countdown in the right column). To discuss ideas on how DalstonTango could make a difference to your communications whether at home, at work or at school, please contact us at dalstontango@googlemail.com
