Music is a Motivator There has been a lot of research into the links between music and physical exercise and the wonderful thing about the world of dance is that is is accompanied by such rich and varied music. Those of us who have also had the privilege of being accompanied by live musicians will also know what a special experience this is, but sadly one that is dying out due to the progression of technology. According to Dr Costas Karageorghis, a leading researcher in this field “Music lowers your perception of effort. It can trick your mind into feeling less tired during a workout, and also encourage positive thoughts. Music can also act as a sedative or a stimulant. Music with a fast tempo can be used to pump you up prior to a performance, or slower music can be used to calm your nerves and help you focus." A good teacher will put a lot of thought into the music they choose for dance exercises and routines and this is certainly something that all of our teachers do. Music should transport you and the connection between music and movement is an incredibly special one that should be respected and nurtured.
