Dance therapy

|
The use of dance has proved very helpful in alleviating physical, emotional, and social problems. It has received wide acceptance as a psychotherapeutic means of physical and emotional expression. Through dance the patient or client has freedom of movement and gains a sense of identity. Dance encourages individuals to recognize their emotions and express them. Through dance, by varying movement qualities, individuals can convey their feelings and ideas to others and perhaps portray emotions that they cannot verbally express. Dance provides a means not only to express one’s feelings and emotions to others but also a means of gaining insight into oneself. Dance, by its very nature, can promote sensitivity and awareness.
Dance therapy is one of the fastest-growing professions. It is used in rehabilitation centers, psychiatric centers, geriatric programs, hospitals, and in programs for persons with disabilities. Dance therapy is used with all segments of the population from very young to very old persons. Certification standards for dance therapists have been established by the American Dance Therapy Association (ADTA).
