Dance Therapy

Dance is the most fundamental of the arts, involving direct expression through the body. Thus, it is an intimate and powerful medium for therapy.

Based on the assumption that mind and body are interrelated, Dance/Movement Therapy can bring about changes in:

• Feelings
• Cognition
• Physical function
• And behavior

Today, in addition to treating persons with severe emotional disorders, Dance/Movement Therapy has proven useful in cases of:

• Individuals with eating disorders
• Adult survivors of violence
• Sexually and physically abused children
• The frail elderly
• Substance abusers
• And individuals with acute or chronic pain
