Dr Dance Shorts - Fact File
Themes
The Dr Dance Shorts are all based on the Psychology of Movement and across four short sessions, four themes are discussed. In Session 1 we look at how movement enhances social connection. In Session 2 we focus on the link between movement and thinking. Session 3 is all about the physical benefits of movement and in Session 4 we get emotional.
Duration
As a live presentation, Dr Dance Shorts can last between 5-12 minutes each, and they can be peppered throughout your event. Our "off-the-shelf" pre-recorded series of Dr Dance Shorts have the following timings: Session 1: 12 min 48 sec. Session 2: 5 min 8 sec. Session 3: 6 min 23 sec. Session 4: 6 min 48 sec.
Let's Dance
Dr Dance Shorts are delivered using both words and movement. Across the series Peter teaches two different dances. In Session 1 we get groovy, and learn a cheer-style dance, which fits with the theme of relationships and connection. Across Sessions 2 and 3 we learn the Happy Dance as we look at thinking and physical functioning, and then in Session 4 we dance it out. Both dances are very simple to follow and learn, even for people who think they cannot dance.
Music
For live presentations we can be flexible with music choices, so that we use music that is most appropriate to your event. For the Dr Dance Shorts "off-the-shelf" pre-recorded videos, we use two pieces of commercial music. These are We Are Family by Sister Sledge and We No Speak Americano by Yolanda Be Cool . Please note: Dr Dance Presents/Peter Lovatt do not own the rights to the commercial music. Therefore, clients will need to licence rights, from the rights holders, for the commercial music used according to their event and planned use.
