What happens in our brain when we start dancing to a melody? How does music become a shared experience, and why does it make us feel happier? Joy, music, and dance are not just forms of entertainment — they are deeply embedded in our culture, biology, and social bonds. This talk takes a scientific look at the fascinating connection between rhythm, movement, and emotion. Join us on a journey where body and mind move in harmony!
