Save the Last Dance (2001) - IMDb..
They make our hormones work for love.
Engaging with a story makes parts of our brain simulate the emotions the characters are depicting.
This is a neural response known as “transportation.” Our brains release the “love hormone” Oxytocin, the neurochemical responsible for empathy, and our bodies react..
Not only can dance bring more romance to your relationship, but this fluttering feeling can also be experienced by dancing alone.
Romance is a feeling of excitement and mystery associated with love, and dance brings those very qualities to life..
Flashdance was inspired by the real-life story of Maureen Marder, a construction worker/welder by day and dancer by night at Gimlets, a Toronto strip club.
Like Alex Owens in the film, she aspired to enroll in a prestigious dance school..
You can see how different people express their feelings for each other and watch how they navigate the ups and downs of a relationship.
It's also fun to see all the different ways that love can be expressed, from romantic comedies that make you giggle to tearjerkers that will have you sobbing into your popcorn..
