Dr Peter Lovatt (AKA Dr Dance) will talk about the relationship between movement, health, hormones and thinking.

The simple act of dancing can change us in fundamental ways. It can make us more creative, improve our mood, and even alter some of the negative symptoms associated with Parkinson’s disease. So why would some people rather have their fingernails pulled out than dance?

Peter will explore the surprising and fascinating psychology of dance and dancing – so get your dancing shoes on and be happy!
