Presentation Description

There is more to dance than commonly conceived. Dance, an artistic means of artistic expression, demands certain intellectual abilities that are virtually nonexistent in other forms of physical activity. According to recent studies, dance may even be able to improve academic success and neurological activity. This presentation further explores this greatly debated topic and sheds a new light on dance.
