RESEARCH SPOTLIGHT
UCLA researchers invite you to participate in a historic study of conscious dance practices!
UCLA researchers Kelsey Laird, PhD and Helen Lavretsky, MD, MS, are conducting the first-ever large-scale quantitative research study of the potential benefits of 5Rhythms and other forms of conscious dance! Their brief online survey assesses characteristics of practitioners, their motivations for participation, and the perceived benefits of these practices on well-being. It is their hope that this study will increase awareness of the therapeutic potential of these practices and serve as pilot data to inform the design of a randomized controlled trial. Please help make their vision happen by sharing your experiences! For more details and to complete the 10-minute survey, go here: http://bit.ly/dancesurvey1
