We really need a Hank dancing compilation...
IS THERE MORE?!?!??!!!??!!?!????!?!!
Never saw Hank dancing. I'd like that.
Funky Sagan Cat The video on Electric Eels towards the end, thank me later.
FOR SCIENCE
I wish I had as much fun at work as Hank clearly did making this video.
This video is just gold
AJ Guevara One of the best. Just like dancing.
"Show me your moves!"
~ Captain Falcon
Peter Schmidt falcon punch!
Show ya moves*
"COME!"
This is what I came to the comments for
Apparently my dance moves say I'm having a seizure...
No. Seriously. Strangers have asked...
hot
practice makes perfect. I used to be called frankestein because I was so stiff. Now, I'm super smooth...
Too funny!!! But if you're getting attention for your dance moves, know you are doing something right! Rock on and be happy.
It's the little kicks
Imagine you enjoy music and someone comes to you with concern "Are you okay?"
Darling, save the last dance for psychological screening
Sebastian Elytron hahahahah
It will be the dancing singularity
Judging by his dance moves, I can state with absolute certainty that Hank Green is the Zodiac Killer
Ahhh, the classic jumping up and down!
This is actually pretty funny, a lot of people say I'm good at reading others, and I've been dancing my whole life!
Science may want me to bust a move, but I am pretty sure that nobody needs to see that. Including myself.
Same. I actively refuse to dance in front of any living person. I will "dance" when I'm absolutely sure I'm alone though. I put dance in quotations because it's more like spastic flailing.
"dance like your daddy, move like your mama or do what you wanna" pure gold
I dance like an idiot all the time when I'm alone, nothing fancy, I just start furiously flailing my limbs all around like a maniac. My cat is terrified of me.
On a different note, why are some of these studies only about 60 or some people? How can you possibly get accurate results from such a small group?
Same but I don’t move my body !
Volunteering in a psychology lab, I know personally how difficult it can be to recruit participants for studies that take more than just a few minutes of their time. Even if you schedule 20 people for a day, there are days where only 2-3 show up
OMG, me too! And my teenagers hide in their rooms, lol 🌞
Thanks for making me laugh!
Lol I know that look when a dog or cat is thinking "wtf u doing hooman!?"
Hahahahahahahahah
i have no dance moves, i only have spastic arm flailing
I tried tap dancing once
I kept falling in the sink
Software Man BRILLIANT \^_^/
Scishow has been needing a new pun lord, the previous one's have failed us, but you.... you are chosen. Go forth. Your job, from this day forward, is to make clever puns on educational youtube videos within a couple hours of them coming out!
Mathias Knight :'(
j/k Software Man is very funny.
Master Therion Your service was honorable, but you missed a video and the position demands perfection!
HI Hi

Hahahaha I soooo freaking love those dances
They look so free and so happy... It is contagious!! Respect
“Old people dancing are adorable!” 😂😂
I remember reading some chapter in an anthology of research on well-being (ed. by Kahneman) that on a list of what made people happy, doing meaningful volunteer work for others and dancing took the number one and two spot, iirc.
➖The only dance i do is moving my foot unconsciously listening to music➖
rick sanchez 79 but your foot's dancing. You dance man! Let the legs dance, let your inwards move and swing, shake that ass to the tune in your head, move your arms with the flow.! You are dancing man!
Paula Barrocas
Hmmm no
Killing it with the dancing, Hank!
I'm glad Hank covered this, he makes things interesting.
can we have a dancer Hank just like muscle Hank?
MrMarans *muscle
Rustle Hank?
Razzle Hank?
I'm shure Hank is a happy, although ironic, dancer
As an aspiring Professional dancer, this is very interesting to me
If this was any other channel, I would have dismissed the video just for it's title. I mean, it contains all the common signs of tabloid pop-psychology clickbait. But experience has taught me to trust scishow.
don't dance, watch people dancing.
especially if you're like me and your moves do not even come close to hanks.
make crash course dance for us!
What if you're super introverted AND you love dancing? O: I don't get to dance often, but I definitely get the sense that a portion of my attention is going to noticing other people, and maybe even adopting some of their moves if it seems like fun. Social chemistry while dancing is fascinating, thanks for the video! :D
2:37 "so just get that boy goin!"
My wife ran a night club in NYC in the 80's... she still married me.
What if i don't have any dance moves?...
does that mean i am nothing?!
It says you are very neurotic and introvert, because you are too shy to dance. :P
MajjkyTV I can't say you're wrong. XD
Software Man yes.
Hey! Only one good comment per video per person.
so that means the theory of telling what a person is from a dance move is invalid, or are those people who dont dance or have no dance move non-humans, a new race/species
Love you guys. You make everything look so easy and understandable. Keep on doing what you've been doin. ITS GOLD!!!!! ❤❤❤❤
0:11- Can we please have a gif of this?
Yes please!
Ask and you shall receive.

Ryan Huntley thank you!
Ryan Huntley You magnificent bastard!
Ryan Huntley you have made my day thank youuu ♥️
The more you emote in a way, the more you comprehend other people emoting the same way.
Well, I'm glad I've been ballroom dancing for 12 years then.
0:08 Hank: "You just get that urge to just start to do the moves" (*starts dancing). Hahahahahahhahaha.
I was 29 when I discovered eletronic dance music. I consider going to festivals to be a form of therapy.
I love it when Hank goes a little beyond his normal self. The scishow episode about gold is one of my personal favourites.
This must be one of the funniest videos of Hank Green hahahahaha I loved it.
Aw I wish he would have made more examples... :(
I tip my hat to you; the research on this video is amazing.
+SciShow
I find this a bit questionable if not weak. These studies seem to focus on things that are very eurocentric western in cultural focus. The sample is DEFINITELY small, so the indication that this was not carried out and double checked in many other non eurocentric cultures is highly likely. Not to mention, this doesnt even take into account cultures where dancing is frowned upon and people just dont or severely minimize such behavior.
did it says somewhere it was a global study where they took a sample from europe and extrapolated the results to the rest of the world?
why would the study take into account the effect of dancing where dancing is illegal?
wouldn t it be that you somehow think the studies arent diverse enough?
this has to stop.
Can you give an example of culture where people frown on dancing or don't dance at all? There are certainly examples where some kind of dancing is frowned upon due to morality or political reasons, but I can't think of a culture where there is a general dislike for all kinds of dancing.
Footloose, bruh. lol ;)
You're kinda right we know that in our western way it is kinda like that and he did commented briefly about other cultures but it is still something to question
Guys you can't just say that is from scishow and BANG! It is right, the method of science is about not beliving in stuff when there is weak evidence. I think even Hank talked about how important this is before
I want to hang out with Hank SOOOOO MUCH after this video.
“So, get out there, ‘cause science is telling you to *BUST* *THAT* *MOVE* “
Liked the video specifically for Hank's dancing.
Employer: tell me something about yourself.
Me: *does the worm
Also since a LOT of people seem to have insomnia now due to the COVID-19 anxiety, I'd like to tell people dancing is a great way to tire yourself out so you can fall asleep, you release all your body's energy. Although it does kind of feel weird to be dancing in front of a mirror alone at 2am... But it is always fun.
I always thought that the reason I hip, hop, and can't stop was because Run-DMC gave me the OCD, G.
“More dance experience” typically means partner dance experience. The video seemed to say dance itself developed social cognition, but taking any type of dance class involves a lot of social interaction. So it could be just as valid to say “people with lots of experience in social situations are better at picking up social queues”. Which is much less mystical and surprising, but probably more true. I think this video was phrased in a kinda misleading and pop-sciencey way. :/
cjspurg +
This is like that xbcd? Comic where it shows that most statistical maps are just population maps
I am confused as to what qualifies as "dance expirence," a professional dancer definably has more years of dancing than the average clubber. So would dancing in general be considered as "dance expirence."
Yeah, it wasn't clear in the video. Even if any type of dancing counts, clubbing/going out dancing still involves a lot of social interaction.
Objection!
Even though it might be true that the predominance of social interactions in dance-related activities would increase your skill in picking up social cues, I think dancing in itself (even alone in your bedroom) still has a non-negligable part in it.
As a student in psychomotor therapy and dancer myself, I learnt that, by dancing, connexions between the emotional and motor part of your brain augment (as you "get to know yourself" through body expression) and therefore, when those mirror neurons come into place(in social interactions), it becomes much easier to "feel" the other person when he/she/they express him/her/themself and also to pick up the little hints of body language even when not dancing.
But keep your critical thinking ;)
This has just become my new favourite SciShow Psych episode. Much guffawing occurred 😅
Watching you dance made my day
So what does moshing/headbanging say about a person? Beyond them being metal AF? \m/
Mystic Mind Analysis that we have a stiff neck iin the morning. 😆
Are bronies still a thing?
I think it simply expresses enjoyment of the music, same with foot tapping
To everyone here who says they don't have moves....
Apply patience to it and learn to partner dance.
I highly recommend Swing or Salsa.
I started as a video gamer anti-social nerd. I did not have a lick of rhythm or coordination. I have an extremely self-aware personality which made me always think about how awkward I must look.
One, day, I was correctly introduced to dancing by a friend. It was East Coast Swing and it was at a church. Everyone was a beginner which helped me not feel so self-conscious.
I took a lesson, liked it and started going back for more lessons. Eventually, I was making friends and becoming less awkward at dancing.
Some time after, I met a girl that wanted to learn to salsa dance, so I agreed to go with her. At first, salsa was hard because the music was faster and everyone else was sooo much better that it made me feel extremely self-conscious.
I took a bunch of lessons until I felt confident "enough" to be able to ask people to dance.
Fast forward many years, and now all I can say is that learning to partner dance is the best thing I could've done to fix my anti-social problem.
Now I can read people so easily by either watching them dance, or by dancing with them myself.
I can see if a guy has insecurities, if a girl is very indecisive, or if she doesn't like being told what to do. I can even tell if someone doesn't have patience or pays attention by seeing how badly they ignore the "rules" of the dance.
I have been called a " smooth", and "fun" dancer a LOT. I can take people that cannot dance very well, and make them feel like they are really good dancers. It does take someone that's willing to let me lead them tho.
Please, do yourself a huge favor and start taking partner dancing lessons. They are ubiquitous to every city in the U.S.
You WILL NOT regret it.
Look on my channel for videos of me dancing many years ago.
The funny thing is I tried all that, didn't improve at all and still have the dancing skills of uncooked noodles, didn't learn how to psychically read people's thoughts, and absolutely regretted it and/or hated every second of it because of how foolish I looked. It ain't for everyone, man.
JeepusChrystler
I'm willing to bet you just need to give it more time.
I'm willing to bet literal years are enough time to figure out it ain't for everyone, man.
JeepusChrystler
OMG, you are me 15 years ago.... you will learn...
I've learned that I'll still hate it in 15 years, does that count?
So what does "Weird Al's" boneless boy dance say about him? Never mind, I think the answer is probably right there in his name. Oh well, he's a lovable goofball.
As a dancer, this is by far my favorite video on UA-cam
Hank, your videos are amazing. I think having you as host for SciShow Psych is the best decision ever! Can you do a video about general anxiety disorder, and how anxiety affects us from a behavioral standpoint? I think many people believe they do not suffer from anxiety, and this causes a bigger issue altogether.
What if my dance moves are non-existent?
Legit, I never feel the urge to dance.
Even though one of my favourite genres is literally called Dance Music
well I guess my testosterone is really low, I have no grip strength and no woman will ever find me attractive.
Good thing I have lots of money to keep me company!
You're not alone my friend, I'm gonna go bang my head in a corner
You think low testosterone is a bad thing? Embrace your feminine side!
im the biggest loser ever and i have a girlfriend, you just gotta wait for the right women
*insert picture of Drax*
I only know that skanking means I live in a beach town and that I know absolutely nothing about Jamaica.
Hank impersonating the typical attractive dance moves is the most cheerful thing I've seen today
I must be the smartest person ever because I’ve been cutting rugs forever!!!
Love this video-I’m going to go shake my booty.
"+ old people dancing is adorable."
I've never agreed more with someone
So it's not just that I look stupid... Thank you Hank.
That was funny. This is my favourite Psyshow Psych episode yet. xD
That's awesome. I wonder if it would help those with mental differences like ADHD who can sometimes kinda suck at reading people?
I just bang my head like the Butabi brothers
Nice. Now i have science facts for my awesome flash move that only i like. Time to train those moves more!
Annnd now I'm off to watch old vlogbrothers videos... Humpy Hank n all! 😁😂
2:38 Thank you for this.
Change "is possibly" to "most likely". You even started the video explaining how dancing is a cultural phenomenon, and pointed out to its relationship with social cognition.
THIS VIDEO IS LITERALLY GOLD HAHAHAHAHSJSHNAB IM CHOKING YDJDJEHD
As a highly empathic Kpop stan I feel this video to my core. It explains so much!
I love this man so much
I know that feeling want to get up & dance when I'm at work.
Well now I'm even more happy I went to all those underground raves!!
I just want to hear Hank say twerk again. Literally made my day
♫ Dance the night away ♪
It doesn't matter what style you bring
♫ It's dance magic, once you have it ♪
Let your body move, step into the music
OK, dancing will be added to my post-therapy, post-depression phase, in addition to swimming, speed dating, gym, and hugging my new best friend. My brain is getting a back seat, as it is the cause of all my troubles 😄
"Henry you dance like a wooden indian" ~ Modest Mouse, a line perfectly reflecting my own dance skills, or complete lack there of.
I have to say this: 🎶 You should be dancing, yeah! Dancing, yeah🎶
4:08
all i imagined was Captain Falcon saying
"Show mya moovs!"
Oh Hank you are the absolute geekiest.
Never change xD
Aww, kept waiting for Hank to break out in dance to Talking Heads...'burning down the house!'. A long ago favorite of fellow biology nerds in college and why I married my law school boyfriend. Way before his time!
Could you guys do a video about crohn's disease? Cause I have it and want to learn more about it! Thanks!
Awesome!!
The video I never knew I needed
Wow as a former preprofessional ballet dancer, this video made me feel so validated, lmao!
Hank is such a dorky dad in this video
Hank, dance-off, you, me, now!
Dance like ur dady
Move like ur mama
Move like u wana
More videos with mister Green dancing, plz
2:40 had me in stiches, go you good thing!
I never danced because looking stupid is not my game :D
2:38 my favourite dance move 😀😀
I mean, if you're wearing Captain Falcon cosplay, shouting "show me your moves!" is definitely acceptable
They studied my dance moves, too. I'm now prescribed epilepsy drugs.
Every website that assesses my personality says that I'm good at reading people... I DON'T SEE IT!!!
Best video ever!
What was that saying about dancing being a horizontal wish being expressed vertically? Oh, yeah... Sexuality aside, as someone who has dabbled in dancing, you can definitely judge someone's personality by watching them dance.
What if i don't dance?
Many species dance to communicate information. Music actually activates a region of your brain involved in processing movements. Not symphony movements, but it's hard to ignore the verbal coincidence.
Music seems to be fundamentally about communicating internal and emotional information. Birds use songs to communicate. Even bees use dance to guide each other. They may not be interested in whether other bees are sad or excited, but emotions are just guides to action (or inaction). So they're definitely interested in whether another bee is "excited" about discovering a new patch of flowers, and where it's located. "Dance" is really just a label we use for communicative movement.
People also use movements to communicate. We can't all just bust out a guitar and start singing every time we have something important to convey, but prehistoric, pre-verbal humans used movements to convey important information. Modern people do too. We wave emphatically when excited. We also fall back on motion and gesticulate more when we don't speak another other person's language. We're good at interpreting movements because they are essentially pre-language.
Dance and music are fundamentally connected, which is why it's not so surprising that people process music partially as movement. Musical tones and physical dance both allow us to convey our internal emotional states without using words. Musical expression is more honest than words, because hips don't lie. It's much harder to fake body language than verbal language. In the same way your tone of voice means more than the actual words you say, your tone of dance communicates your internal state more honestly than words. So it's not surprising people use this information to choose partners. Lots of other species do too.
Interesting and inspiring.
This was a good episode
So then, what I'm gonna do is start dancing in the waiting room before a job interview so my potential boss will know what kind of a confident, open, conscientious, goofy mess I am as they enter the room, before we even shake hands.
That's bound to get me hired!
Right?
What if I do it in heels?
I have so many questions.
In 5:00. What if those who liked dancing to hiphop were generally more active... Now, being active is associated with feelings of happiness or more specifically "stable emotions," which could be the reason why they were better at interpreting other people's emotions (compared to those who tend to be anxious or have feelings of the like). What if it's not the dancing but the emotional stability brought by being active that is the key player that helped those dancers interpret others' emotions better? Just a thought.
