What is Dance Movement Therapy (DMT)?
DMT is a creative arts therapy based in psychoanalysis that harnesses the power of movement and dance to explore emotions, express feelings, and create deeper connection with oneself. By using dance as a medium of communication and self-exploration, participants can access a wealth of insight within their body and mind through connection, observation, and having meaningful experiences that promote increased mental health and overall wellbeing.
