611. The Dance Dr - With Peter Lovatt

   Former professional dancer turned dance psychologist Peter, has spent the past two decades studying why we dance and what it does for us. We talk learning, language, what dance is, where it starts, why people don't dance, innate dance, attractive dance, social functions of dance, Parkinson's, and what a more dancephillic world would be like. 

   A fun and sciencey one.
