DAANCE FOR CHEMOTHERAPY-INDUCED NEUROPATHY

The intervention being studied is a 16 session intervention (2x4-week modules), delivered over an 8-week period by community-based individuals with expertise in dance and patient care and certified in Adapted Tango or AdapTango dance instruction. Steps available to teach, including order and cues to teach them, are detailed in Hackney's AdapTango manual. All steps are based on the Argentine Tango steps that emerged within working class community centers in Buenos Aires, Argentina (milongas) in the late 1800s and have been adapted by the investigators for use as medical exercise among people with mobility deficits. Of note, Argentine Tango is distinct from, and the precursor for, the American Tango style of competitive ballroom dance: where American Tango highlights showmanship and complicated footwork, Argentine Tango prioritizes connection between partners and musicality within a basic walk motion.
