This is one interesting, happy-making read. If you love dance (as I do), if you are interested in a fun way to try and keep fit, or even if you are a non-dancer but interested in psychology, this book is for you. The author, Dr. Lovatt, is a former professional …
Disclaimers first of all – and there are several of them : 1) Dr. Chauhan is a friend and my running mentor. 2) Dr. Player is a zoom acquaintance. 3) I am quoted in the book. The latter first. It was such a thrill to see myself quoted in the …
