Thinking with the Dancing Brain examines the mind in action as it orchestrates skilled movement and how it understands the kinesthetic, symbolic language of dance. As seasoned dancers and dance educators, Minton and Faber's neurological research about the thought processes in learning and performing dance encompasses a vision of dance as creative art, communication, education, and life. This book seeks to inform neuroscientists, educators, and dancers about the complex interdependence of brain localities and the networking of human neurology through an integration of physiology, cognition, and the art of dance.

Exploring the intricate relationship between the mind and body, this study delves into the nuances of movement and dance. It examines how mental processes influence physical expression and vice versa, highlighting the significance of this interplay in understanding human movement. Through various insights and analyses, the work aims to bridge the gap between cognitive and physical experiences in the realm of dance.
