Dance movement therapy and all wellness programs share the philosophy
that the mind, emotional and body are integrated. Dance movement therapy
activities support an individual along the path of personal wellness and
self-discovery by providing activities which enable the exploration of
the link between one's mind, emotions and body. Participants will learn
about the nonverbal expressiveness of their actions; how their personal
movement style influences their every day functioning both emotionally
and physically; and the continuum created by the physical embodiment of
emotional stress observable in their posture, breath and muscular tension
patterns.
Through movement explorations based on anatomical and kinesiological
principles, individuals will experience an increase in fluidity, better
balance and coordination and inner calm. Personal skills will be developed
to better manage every day tensions and anxieties while experiencing the
joy of movement and improved fitness. |
