Body and Mind in Motion: Dance and Cognitive Neuroscience in Conversation

Thank you to dancer, teacher, researcher, and author Glenna Batson for two great  conversations about her work and her new book “Body and Mind in Motion: Dance and Cognitive Neuroscience in Conversation” and about her research on improving balance through somatics and dance improvisation.

Here’s Part 1 about “Body and Mind in Motion: Dance and Neuroscience in Conversation”  

Here’s Part 2 about Glenna’s research on balance
