Welcome to my online space

( an arts and science fusion ).

I am a Cognitive Neuroscientist and a recreational dancer, interested in how dancing (in real time) impacts the social brain.

Why do we dance?

I believe we dance to connect, to come together, to bond.

(or to minimise our differences)

By better understanding the social contexts that bring us together, like dance, we can better advocate for their application across education and society.
