About Peter Lovatt

Dr Peter Lovatt, better known as Doctor Dance , is a world-renowned psychologist, performer and keynote speaker who helps audiences unlock confidence, connection and creativity through the power of movement.

Peter’s personal story is extraordinary. Once a dyslexic schoolboy who failed every written exam, he went on to become a professional dancer, earn a PhD, and complete post-doctoral research at Cambridge University. His journey inspires audiences to challenge limitations and rethink their own potential.

As Doctor Dance, Peter delivers high-energy, interactive keynote experiences that ignite both body and mind. Audiences don’t just sit and listen, they stand, smile and move, discovering how joyful, evidence-based movement can enhance performance, wellbeing and teamwork. From warming up a crowd of 20,000 before Barack Obama took the stage to energising corporate teams from California to Sydney, Peter combines academic insight with infectious charisma.

Drawing on his groundbreaking research from the Dance Psychology Lab, Peter reveals how dance and movement influence thinking, communication and connection and how they can even improve symptoms in neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson’s.

A trusted speaker for global organisations including Google, NHS, BBC and the Royal Academy of Dance, Peter has also shared the stage with iconic names such as Oprah Winfrey, Barack Obama and Sir Richard Branson. Whether addressing world leaders, business executives or education professionals, he transforms rooms full of people into connected, confident, and inspired communities.

Whether it’s a large-scale conference or a more intimate team event, a Doctor Dance keynote guarantees energy, laughter and lasting impact.
