About this Event
A Spring Soirée by Tango Therapy Project (TTP)
Shake off those wintery cobwebs and join us for a night of dancing, music, and community at our inaugural fundraiser on Saturday, March 8 at Trinity Memorial Church!
TTP is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization conceived in 2023 with the mission to provide therapeutic benefit, improve quality of life, spark joy, and promote social connection through Argentine tango. We are a group of Philadelphia-based dancers who are inspired by scientific research demonstrating tango’s unique benefits for people with Parkinson’s Disease (PD), as well as individuals with other motor and neurological disorders and mental and physical conditions. Funds from this event will support expanding our programming to serve individuals living with PD and other movement and neurological disorders. Visit our website to learn more about what we have accomplished in our first year of operations and to get involved!
Whether you're a seasoned tango dancer or just looking to have a good time for a great cause, this event is for you.
