Let's Get Scientific

"I bet you were BORN dancing!"

I get this... I get this a lot... like, TOO MUCH. But is it true?

Between conception and 18 months, humans learn to connect sounds to movement. This is introduced to them in the womb when they hear their mother breathing or feel her heartbeat.

Once born, they mimic sounds and facial expression made by their caregivers; pairing happy sounds with happy facials and sad sounds with sad facials.

A baby's natural instinct is to connect physical movement to sound. Babies have musicality.

The answer is yes, I was born dancing. And so were you.

Live In Motion,
