Babies born like to dance

A new study shows that babies love to listen to music and dance because that is the natural ability of people from birth.

Research by psychologist Marcel Zentner of York University in England and partner Tuomas Eerola, from Jyvaskyla University of Finland, was conducted on 120 children from 5 months to 2 years old.

The researchers turned on classical music, drum beats, talks and used cameras to record children's reactions. They also recruited professional ballet dancers to analyze how much their movement matched music.

In the experiment, the babies sat in the hearts of their parents. Parents are allowed to wear headphones so that they do not listen to music and do not move.

As a result, babies swing their hands, feet, torso and head when listening to music more than they hear the words of the talks.

"According to our research, it is the sound of drum, not the other elements of music such as the melody, creating the reaction in children , " said psychologist Marcel Zentner from York University in England. "We also see the more the children move, the more they laugh."
