MUSIC AND HEALING
Dr. Kacey Link
In this session, we will delve into the profound relationship between music and healing. Drawing on her work with tango, music education, and music outreach, Kacey will explore how music can serve as a powerful therapeutic tool, enhancing emotional, mental, and physical well-being.
DANCE & PHYSICAL HEALTH
PD Dr. Med. Friedemann Schad
Everyone knows that to move is to be healthy, and this includes dancing. But what can science tell us about it? Exercise and dance can be beneficial for dealing with many illnesses. In this talk we will look at various studies and practical cases, trying to answer the question: what makes dancing so special?
MENTAL HEALTH & TRAUMA
Dr. Ayşe Bombacı
Trauma has a profound effect on our physical and mental health. Trauma is not just a past event, but a lived experience that affects our present reality and goes beyond single catastrophic events that disrupt our innate sense of safety, connectedness, and belonging. Adverse childhood experiences such as abuse, neglect, and abandonment are relational traumas that affect our mental health and influence how we respond to the world. Dr. Bombaci emphasizes the mind-body connection and how unresolved trauma can manifest in physical illness, chronic pain and mental illness. The body as a repository of emotional memories is key to the healing process.
EMPOWERING TANGO STUDENTS
Audrey Cremoux
In this workshop we will focus on empowering tango students through trust, responsibility, and growth. Learn how to trust your students as a teacher and guide them towards taking ownership of their learning process. Discover coaching strategies that encourage trust, responsibility, and growth in the tango learning journey.
SUPPORTING A HEALTHY EMPLOYEE CULTURE
Peter Bostelmann
Lessons learned in 10+ years of SAP Global Mindfulness Practice
Peter will share key insights from his journey in integrating mindfulness at SAP, from grassroots to a global corporate program. He’ll address strategies for convincing skeptics and building a community of mindfulness teachers within the organization. Drawing from over 10 years of experience, Peter will emphasize the measurable impact of mindfulness on fostering a culture of resilience and well-being among employees.
CONFERENCE SUMMARY & PODIUM DISCUSSION
Moderated by Stefan Knauß & Veronica Toumanova
What does it mean to approach tango holistically? What does “holistic” mean in the various health, movement and dance disciplines? What does science have to say about holistic approaches? Several of our speakers and organisers will be involved in this discussion.
