The next time people mistake your dance moves for a possible seizure, you have the perfect comeback. “Beat-deafness.” That’s right, there’s a new excuse for bad dancing in town! A new study from researchers at McGill University and the University of Montreal has recognized the inability to synchronize to sound as a possible diagnosis. Beat-deafness, as defined by Professor Caroline Palmer from McGill University is:
a problem in which people have a tough time either tapping or clapping or moving their head to some regular pattern.
While the condition is rare and only two people have been diagnosed with the problem so far, it is considered an unconscious reaction to sound. So if you or your friends are the one pointed at in clubs, we’re sorry. Not everyone’s got them Moves like Jagger.
