How to Dance Like a Cognitive Psychologist

By: Yana Weinstein

I woke up in the middle of the night and checked Twitter (a terrible habit). Blurry-eyed, I scrolled until a post by David Weston on cognitive psychology applied to dance. Wow! Now I was wide awake.

I’ve been a cognitive psychologist for 10 years, but much more recently than that, I got the salsa bug. So this post – which married my two main passions – could have been written specially for me. I couldn’t help but think of things to add! What started out as a comment soon got so long that David Weston had to publish it as its own separate response post. 

If you’ve ever danced – and even if you haven’t! – I hope you will enjoy both posts.
