What is Dance Movement Therapy?
Dance Movement Therapy is an arts-based psychotherapy that uses body movement and dance as therapeutic tools to pursue psychological, emotional, and physical integration.
How Does Healing Happen?
Our emotions are stored in the body. Feelings like tension, anxiety, and sadness take up residence somewhere in our physical selves. In Dance Movement Therapy, moving the body freely allows these emotions to be safely expressed and released.
