Dance Psychology

Dancing isn’t just good exercise. Surrendering yourself to the beat can have a far-reaching impact on all areas of your life—it can help you communicate better, to think more creatively, and can be a powerful catalyst for change. Losing yourself in the moment to a song or piece of music can also alleviate anxiety, depression, and feelings of isolation, Dr. Peter Lovatt has found. Lovatt shares his best steps and routines, as well as top dance anthems to inspire everyone—even those who believe they “can't dance”—to turn the music on, stand up, and dance themselves happy.

Flirtation is one of the most universal and yet misunderstood forms of human communication. It’s a subtle, often silent, dance—a choreography of glances, gestures, tone, posture, and timing. It can be bold and unmistakable or so gentle and nuanced that it goes entirely unnoticed by the untrained eye. Whether in a crowded bar, a casual conversation at work, or a playful chat online, the signals of attraction are always there, waiting to be interpreted. The question is: Do you know what you’re looking for?

Our “shadow” is the collection of negative or undesirable traits we keep hidden—the things we don't like about ourselves or are ashamed of, but it also includes our positive, untapped potential. The shadow is often a source of creative inspiration and greater self-acceptance. Befriending the shadow makes fear an ally and enables us to live more authentically. It also automatically improves our interpersonal relationships, because we are freed from the need to project our own negativity onto others, and we become more acutely aware when theirs is projected onto us.
