Every known culture has some form of dance, so it seems obvious that music and movement are closely connected with each other. But it's surprising how little we know about this connection. Why do certain tunes make us want to get up and dance, while others not so much? And when we do move, what compels us to do so one way and not another? What's more, when we watch others dance, why can we tell immediately if their gestures fit the music or not?
