Every hour in the UK, two people are told they have Parkinson’s disease. For Kate Swindlehurst, the diagnosis was a turning point: refusing to be defined by her condition, she chose instead a radically different path. This is the story of an extraordinary year. It begins with a single tango lesson but grows into an exploration of the dance itself, its history, its music and its incredible healing potential. It is a year in which Kate explored and documented ‘the tango effect’ – the emotional and social benefits of dance on Parkinson’s symptoms. Her personal account echoes what science is beginning to tell us about the powerful and transformative impact of Argentine tango. Intimate and unflinching, The Tango Effect challenges our perceptions of living with a chronic condition. Above all, it takes an honest look at the dark side of the illness while celebrating moments of joy, interconnectedness, acceptance and liberation.

**This book includes FRENCHED (Mia and Lucas) and YANKED (a Mia and Lucas novella)**FRENCHED: When I got dumped by my stupid fiancé a week before the wedding, my plans involved nothing more than ice cream, and blanket fort, and a bonfire of his possessions. But my friends convinced me that bitter tastes better drowned in Bordeaux, so I came to Paris for a single-moon. Then I met him. He's shown me things I've never seen before, and I'm not talking about the Louvre. Is it just the seduction of Paris? Or could this be the real thing? YANKED:I never expected any of this- Getting dumped. Going to Paris alone. Falling for Lucas (he was so not on my list). We've done the long-distance-love thing for eight months now, and I'm ready for more. But after I discover what he's been hiding, will he stay on my list? Or should I cross him off for good?

Sometimes she's Dr. Jeanette Potts, and sometimes she's Dr. Tango. As Dr. Potts, she's on staff in the Cleveland Clinic's Glickman Urological Institute, and in that role, besides treating patients, she travels extensively as a speaker and lecturer. But her alter ego is Dr. Tango, a skilled dancer who has been totally captivated by the Argentine tango. In this role, she uses the tango to express her life philosophies. She also applies the revitalizing inspiration she derives from the tango to develop a nurturing, mind-body approach to her patients.

From its earliest manifestations on the street corners of nineteenth-century Buenos Aires to its ascendancy as a global cultural form, tango has continually exceeded the confines of the dance floor or the music hall. In Tango Lessons, scholars from Latin America and the United States explore tango's enduring vitality. The interdisciplinary group of contributors—including specialists in dance, music, anthropology, linguistics, literature, film, and fine art—take up a broad range of topics. Among these are the productive tensions between tradition and experimentation in tango nuevo, representations of tango in film and contemporary art, and the role of tango in the imagination of Jorge Luis Borges. Taken together, the essays show that tango provides a kaleidoscopic perspective on Argentina's social, cultural, and intellectual history from the late nineteenth to the early twenty-first centuries.
