What Is Dance/Movement Therapy (DMT)?
Dance/Movement Therapy is a psychotherapeutic use of movement to promote emotional, cognitive, physical, and social integration. Rooted in the belief that motion and emotion are deeply connected, DMT helps individuals express feelings that may be difficult to articulate with words.
How it works?
Our certified Dance Movement Therapists guide individuals and groups through sessions that may include:
- Expressive movement to release emotional tension
- Rhythmic exercises to improve coordination and body awareness
- Use of music and props to enhance sensory engagement
- Movement-based mindfulness to calm the nervous system
- Creative improvisation to build confidence and self-expression
