People dance when they are happy but, as dance psychologist Peter Lovatt reveals, dancing results in a potent cocktail of feel-good brain chemicals, greater social bonding and enhanced creativity, all of which will keep you dancing for joy.
Dance your troubles away
The joy of dancing is that it gives us a natural high, and moving in synchrony with others raises our pain threshold and makes us feel more positive towards the people we are dancing with. Dancing also changes the way we think and solve problems, all of which can help us to forget our troubles and get happy.
