What is Dance/Movement Therapy?
Have you ever felt like words just can’t capture what you're going through? Dance/Movement Therapy (DMT) offers a unique way to express and heal, tapping into the power of movement to support your emotional and mental well-being.​

So, what exactly is Dance/Movement Therapy?
DMT is a type of therapy where you use movement and dance as a way to express your feelings, explore your emotions, and work through personal challenges. Instead of just talking about what’s troubling you, you engage in guided movement that helps you connect with your inner self and address issues in a more intuitive and physical way.​

Why Dance?
Dance and movement are natural and powerful forms of expression. Sometimes, moving your body can unlock emotions and thoughts that are hard to put into words. By dancing or moving in a therapeutic setting, you might discover new insights about yourself and find relief from stress, anxiety, or other emotional struggles.​

I'm not a dancer, do I have to dance?
No, you don’t have to be a dancer! DMT focuses on using movement as a way to express and explore feelings, not on performing dance steps. You can move at your own pace and comfort level, and the therapy is adapted to suit you. Your personal experience and comfort are what matter most.

How Does It Work?
In a DMT session, a trained therapist guides you through various movement exercises and activities. These might involve structured dance steps, free movement, or even simple gestures. The therapist helps you reflect on your experiences and emotions during these movements, providing support and insights that help you understand and work through your feelings.

What Can I Expect?
Expect a supportive and non-judgmental space where you can explore your body’s movement and your emotions. Sessions are tailored to your needs, and you don’t need to be a dancer or have any special skills—just a willingness to move and explore. The focus is on personal growth and healing, not on perfect dance moves.​

Why Try It?
DMT can be especially helpful if you’re dealing with stress, trauma, or emotional blockages. It’s a holistic approach that integrates mind and body, allowing you to express yourself in ways that traditional talk therapies might not reach. Many people find that it offers a fresh perspective and a new path to emotional balance and healing. ​ DMT is about finding freedom in movement and using that freedom to foster healing and growth. If you’re curious or seeking a new way to explore your emotions, it might just be the creative and powerful approach you need.
