Dance Psychology

Great book with a smooth read blending personal narrative with scientific study. Well written and mapped out! And the author is very entertaining. If you love to dance, Dr. Dance (Dr Peter Lovatt) will keep you grooving, cause when you groove, you improve!!

Testo molto interessante, soprattutto per chi insegna danza. Il libro è arrivato nel tempo previsto e ben imballato.

Well written and explained in context to the impact of dance on all aspects of life

I’ve been taking Argentine Tango group dance classes as an absolute beginner for a year now. The journey is something I’ve totally thrown myself into. And as a total novice my brain has been melting as I try to process the complex emotions that arise from learning this beautiful art form. Dr Lovatt is the only person I found who has explored the Science of dance in such depth. It has helped me answer many questions I had and generated even more new lines of enquiry. How people learn gross and fine motor control, how memory storage and retrieval works for dance, how dancing can be therapeutic and more. This is a very intelligent book that lifts the lid on the science and psychology of dance. A must read for any dance instructor and student.

This book explores the "why we dance" through the scientific study of psychology. It's easy to read with the points clearly made. For anyone who's curious about the why of dance it's a must.

Great, very informative and easy to read.
