Dance and movement as therapeutic means! Put dance in your life!

Dance therapy is a form of physical psychotherapy through movement and dance that promotes and supports the process of awareness of our body and aims at the balance between body, soul and mind, as they form a whole. The individual, by participating creatively, promotes his cognitive, emotional and social integration.
It is one of the therapies through art, with the help of which stressful and repressed situations emerge through the creativity that we all have within us, and that can be cultivated. Often, adults use words to rationalize their feelings and thus become estranged from them. Art is the catalyst that lowers psychological defenses and enhances man's ability to express himself.
Dance therapy is addressed and applied to all ages and all population groups, such as e.g. to children, teenagers, to people with learning difficulties or with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, to people with special needs, to substance addicts, to people with eating disorders, to elderly people. It is also used in psychiatry, in the treatment of neuroses, as well as to support oncological patients.
No dance experience required. It can be of short or long duration and applied as an independent, parallel or complementary treatment.
It is worth letting the body express what the mouth hesitates to say.
The goal of dance therapy is body awareness, as well as expanding our motor vocabulary for a healthy body.
Objectives:
– Relief from stress and tension.
– Strengthening self-confidence and self-esteem.
– Strengthening communication skills.
– Improving our relationship with our body and ourselves.
– Enjoying the joy of our existence.
– Prevention and treatment of mental, emotional and psychosomatic problems.

So now put dance in your life.
