S2E13: Your Mind on Dance, with Dr. Emily Cross

Minds Matter by Beth Fisher and Ava Ma de Sousa

Episode notes

Why do we love to dance? What makes dance different from other movements? This week on the podcast we speak to Dr. Emily Cross about her research on the neuroscience of dance. Dr. Cross explains why we prefer to watch certain dances over others and how emotion is central to dancing. Ava and Beth discuss their aesthetic experiences with art in general, leading to very different opinions!
