How movement changes our brains | DW Documentary
Dance is part of every human culture - but why? Experiments show that dance played a role in human evolution, and that other creatures dance, too. This film is a love letter - written by science, addressed to dance.
In the Camargue region of France, biologists study the courtship rituals of flamingos. At their annual "pink parade”, thousands of birds display the same movement progressions. Is it a form of dance? What about the reaction of chimpanzees to the loud drumming of raindrops at the end of the dry season? Is this dance?
The question of which creatures have the ability to dance takes the film around the world. From Toronto - where scientists are trying to find out at what age humans develop the ability to move to a rhythm - to Australia, where a tiny songbird’s brain holds answers. The film also visits Oxford, where a social experiment proves that moving to music in a group can alter the chemical balance in our brains, and make us feel good.
"Our Innate Rhythm - Why Animals Also Love to Groove” is a declaration of love, from science to dance. It’s also a visually stunning quest to discover the origins -- and assess the impact -- of one of the world’s oldest forms of expression.

I had a Barn Owl that danced to music. Quite a good mover. He used to follow me to the shop and back. He flew from house roof to house roof and sat waiting for me to come out of the shop. If no one was about I'd hold my arm up and whistle and he would land on my arm then hop onto my shoulder. He wasn't caged and he stayed with me for about 18 months. Eventually he met Mrs Barn Owl and he left but for a couple of months he would show up sometimes with Mrs Owl. I think he was saying how happy he was TBH. I found out where they were nesting and they had a clutch of eggs. After they hatched he never came back. They nested at the same place. Under a bridge for 2 or 3 years until repairs on the bridge made them move on and I lost all contact with him. . Owls are nice I think ❤

Wonderful documentary. It inspired me to start dancing again. Thank you.
Wonderful documentary. Eye opening. Inspiring.
How animals like to grove too: now that's a subject matter to bring a smile to your face if ever I heard one! Thanks DW, I'll cancel my trip to Dignitas now.
This is an awesome documentary
Nice music video included narration :) Thank you.
Marvellous! Wunderbar ! We all dance because we all speak and hear! And vice versa! Mute communication thru gestures and signs is just an extension of this...
The documentary produced by DW can be said to be well-crafted and excellent

Usually where networking happens (at least in academia)
Sooner or later. We might be able to understand God's creatures other than human being's singing. What a wonderful age we are heading into! Imagine you could communicate with your pets what their thought on us the humans.
It should've had included, Pythagora's theory of the Fifth hammer, and of course Dionysus as Zöe and Tragic theater...

The Chinese got it -- as early as primary school students had their drills in unison.
Flamenco was inspired by flamingos? Stamping feet.....sticking a wing out......etc....
