Healing Through Dance and Movement
Dance has been a form of expression and healing for centuries, allowing individuals to connect with their bodies, emotions, and spirit. Through intentional movement, people can experience a profound sense of release, joy, and self-awareness. One powerful approach to healing through dance is Somatic Dance.
What is Somatic Dance?
Somatic Dance is a practice that combines elements of dance with somatic therapy. Somatic therapy focuses on the mind-body connection, emphasizing internal physical perception and experience. In Somatic Dance, individuals are encouraged to explore movement from within, paying attention to sensations, emotions, and thoughts that arise during the dance.
