Why Do We Dance To Music?

Why do we dance? We dance to music because of neural connections in our brain. These connections link the part that perceives music, the auditory cortex to the regions that help us move, the motor regions. We might have started creating music in groups and the ability to sync up with group mates may have transmuted to dance. Anyhow, this dance, anthropologists think, is one glue that holds societies together.
