October 28th at 2 pm EST (virtual event) Exploring the Intersection Between Neuroscience and Dance
Join neuroscientist and dancer Sloka Iyengar, PhD, for a fascinating exploration of Bharatanatyam—a 2,000-year-old classical Indian dance form known for its intricate hand gestures, expressive storytelling, and rhythmic beauty. Discover how this ancient art impacts the brain and supports well-being, and experience how dance can serve as a gentle, empowering path to connection, healing, and self-expression.
This talk will be presented with Well Connected, "an award-winning, nationwide virtual community that offers older adults 100+ weekly groups—accessible via phone or online at no cost."
