Abstract: 

Un projet de recherche multidisciplinaire a été réalisé en 2010 dans le but de vérifier s'il était faisable de développer un cours de tango argentin adapté aux personnes âgées ayant une déficience visuelle, et d'évaluer son impact sur leur bien-être physique et psychologique. Le présent document y fait suite. Il offre des éléments pouvant guider les réflexions et les démarches des intervenants ou des organisations qui désireraient adapter un cours de tango argentin afin d'y intégrer des personnes âgées ayant une déficience visuelle. L'on y présente, entre autres, différents types d'adaptations pouvant faciliter leur intégration, des recommandations visant à faciliter l'implantation d'un cours de tango adapté dans la communauté ainsi que le point de vue des participants et des partenaires de danse.

English Abstract: 

A multidisciplinary research project was carried out in 2010 with the aim of verifying whether it was feasible to develop an Argentine tango course suitable for elderly people with visual impairments, and to assess its impact on their physical and psychological well-being. This document follows on from that. It offers elements that can guide the thoughts and approaches of stakeholders or organizations wishing to adapt an Argentine tango class in order to include seniors with visual impairments. It presents, among other things, different types of adaptations that can facilitate their integration, recommendations aimed at facilitating the implementation of an adapted tango class in the community as well as the point of view of participants and dance partners.
