(FAQ) Frequently Asked Questions:

What is Expressive movement therapy?
The Association for Dance Movement Therapy (ADMT) in England defines “Dance Movement Therapy is the use of expressive movement and dance as a vehicle, through which an individual can engage in the process of personal integration and growth. It is founded on the principle that there is a relationship between motion and emotion; by exploring a more varied vocabulary of movement, people experience the possibility of becoming more securely balanced yet increasingly spontaneous and adaptable.  
Through movement and dance, each person’s inner world becomes tangible; individuals share much of their personal symbolism and in dancing together relationships become visible. The dance movement therapist creates a holding environment in which such feelings can be safely expressed, acknowledged and communicated”
