Dance around

Recommended Posts

i just don't understand it at all.

 

is it somewhere in our instincts to move to the rhythms?

 

do we find it an emotional or physical release?

 

what kind of chemicals are getting released to cause such seemingly silly behavior?

 

why is dancing so *fun *goofy *theraputic *common

 

 

WHY DO WE NEED TO DANCE SO MUCH?

Opioid peptides (Endorphins) are common pleasure generating signal molecules.Similarly several neurotransmitters like DOPA and a host of feel good molecules help in creating pleasure signals.In case of music induced rhythmic movement of the body or otherwise spontaneous body rhythm triggered by environment (rain,sex,serenity) there must be a complex mechanism of many thousand genes acting together.
