Why Do We Dance To Music?

Why do we dance? We dance to music because of neural connections in our brain. These connections link the part that perceives music, the auditory cortex to the regions that help us move, the motor regions. We might have started creating music in groups and the ability to sync up with group mates may have transmuted to dance. Anyhow, this dance, anthropologists think, is one glue that holds societies together.

The best theory I've heard is that it helps us coordinate and act as a group. Think of armies with a drummer setting the pace, or the guy shouting "left, right..." We can work more effectively in groups when we're all synchronized to the same beat.

Creation of a super-organism, but that’s only one of two major reasons according to Jonathan Haidt.

[@ted.angell7609]

@@kevintse2870what’s the other? I tried googling, to no avail.

It's peculiar how humans get to have all these natural traits like singing, dancing, the ability to be creative when compared to animals. Dancing is definitely one of the strangest when you think about it.

[@rakshitabhatnagar7202]

Thanks for the info.🙌🙌

[@simonjones7727]

The cartoon dancer with the green arms seems to have modelled his moves on Theresa May. There is a wonderful Joyce Grenfell song about a staid matron who goes "jazzy when I hear the beat". That is great. Our bodies get older, and frailer, but inside we still dance!

Groovy. This is how they tune it.

الموسيقى لا تجوز لدينا نحن المسلمين لانها من مزامير الشيطان وعليها دراسات كثيرة تثبت اضرارها 👍

You foreigner fellow can't understand the evolution, you are just going to stick to the Darvins bla bla...😂
Just upgrade yourself and see to the India, we have 4 Ved, a celestial scripture, not written by man, but a celestial body, you can say it GOD. In Samved, one of four Ved, describe the music and it's the celestial beginning, that inspires us because we are the part of Cosmos..
