We offer a range of Live on Zoom and Online Modules, so that you can learn about Dance Psychology in whichever works best for you.
In this course you will be introduced to the theory and practice of Dance Psychology. Dance Psychology is the study of dance, and the people who dance, from a psychological perspective, and its application in the real world.
The course consists of eight 2-hour live Zoom sessions. Each session will be led by me, Dr Peter Lovatt, and will consist of a series of short mini lectures and seminar activities/discussions, as we learn about and discuss the theory and practice of dance psychology. Each session will be supplemented with additional learning resources and/or activities, and there will be the opportunity for you to test your knowledge on an on-going basis. In addition, the course includes two one-to-one supervision sessions with me, where I am happy to discuss the course content, dance psychology in general, or your own dance psychology application or project.
These Dance Psychology lectures were developed by Dr Peter Lovatt for students and staff at the Royal Ballet School in London.
Course 102, The Psychology of Movement, was developed by Lindsey Lovatt and Dr Peter Lovatt.
