Dr. Peter Lovatt, known as Doctor Dance, is a psychologist, former professional dancer and author of The Dance Cure. He explores how dance connects the way we move with the way we think, feel and relate to others.
After struggling with reading throughout school, Peter learned to read in his twenties and went on to earn a PhD in psychology, conduct research at Cambridge and establish the Dance Psychology Lab in 2008.
His work brings together science and lived experience to explore the social, cognitive, emotional and physical dimensions of dance, with a particular interest in wellbeing across the lifespan.
Peter’s sessions combine accessible psychology, personal storytelling and simple movements that invite everyone to join in. At The Longevity Show, he will get minds thinking and bodies moving, sharing his passion for dance as a joyful part of living well. His guiding idea is simple: moving bodies to move minds.
