This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Why don’t we dance more often? Professional dancer Mélanie Quevedo believes that we should all dance. She says “A good dancer is made not by his technique but by his passion” and explains how dance helps to connect the mind and the body with examples drawn from her own life.

Mélanie Quevedo is a contemporary dance performer, teacher and choreographer. Her international experience led her to the philosophy that "we should all dance". Her talk focuses on how dance is a powerful medium of expression and an altruistic art. 

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
