I love dancing! And I love to participate in the joy that it brings to everyone who dances. I am a bit of a nerd and enjoy learning about neuroscience. From what I understand, as humans, listening to music that we like releases a chemical in our brains called dopamine. Dopamine is a chemical that motivates us. When I learned this, I slightly adjusted my teaching style. Instead of asking students to stand up/prepare for the song before playing it, I start playing it and then ask them to begin. I have been surprised by how much more effective this newer way of teaching has been for my students! Here's to learning and growing as teachers/parents/students/people!

Did you know that dance increases the neuroplasticity of the brain? In fact, it is one of the BEST ways to do so! It is so good at improving neuroplasticity that it is used to help treat neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's.
