Neuroscience of Dance theory to practice

By Sofia Amaral Martins

How does the brain produce dance? What is the impact of dance on the brain? In the workshops I provide the theory in a dynamic fashion, always applying it to practice promoting embodied cognition and equipping dancers with easy-to-apply techniques. In a fast-paced world where we are often disconnected from ourselves, my focus is to use the body as a tool of learning and give the what and the how in a practical and interesting way.
