Dance is special. Neuroscience and psychology researchers have not only recognized the positive health effects of dance but have also discovered that dancing has additional benefits compared to other forms of physical exercise. Cognitive psychologist—and dancer—Peter Lovatt explains that dance is a cognitive activity that engages the brain through learning dance routines, processing music, and thinking about rhythm and coordination.
The productivity difference between dancers and nondancers is most concentrated in respondents with jobs involving below average levels of cognitive tasks.
