The Institute - General Overview Biography of Petra Klein Dance Therapy "Dance of Life" ... Vacation and Seminar Center Dance Therapy Dance Therapy prepares you to step into the "Dance of Life" Dance therapy is not about achieving defined forms of dance, but is concerned with genuine, creative movement. The objective is to re-establish the unity of body, mind and soul. The increasing tendency towards isolation and growing estrangement in our society often results in emotional, mental and physical illness. Dance therapy helps people to rediscover themselves, thus achieving greater self-awareness and a sense of well-being. People can find their true inner self through authentic movement. They learn to love themselves and thus learn to love others. Dance therapy can be applied to all form of psychic and psychosomatic disorders. Through our own experience in movement and dance we are not only touched physically but also emotionally, mentally and spiritually. The human being makes contact with the conscious and unconscious parts of his personality, learns to accept them and to assimilate his experiences based on his personal history. Accompanying talks are of equal importance. The core of Petra Klein's work is the development of our capacity to love and build up relationships - the feeling of belonging to a joyful community. How these prerequisites are formed is made very clear through special dances with emphases on different developmental stages.

ByRegion Home HealerPages Home ArtistPages Home About ... Affiliate Program Dance Therapy Observing movement and body language is often a good indicator of someone's emotional state. Using dance therapy, people are encouraged to express themselves confidently in a non-verbal way, responding naturally and spontaneously to rhythm. This helps them connect with their subconscious to establish stronger personal identities in an atmosphere of mutual trust. Dance therapy is often used in conjunction with physiotherapy or occupational therapy, and has been proved highly effective and popular in schools, prisons and institutions. History Dance therapy was developed in the United States in the 1940s and is beneficial to everyone, but especially to those with mental and physical disabilities, or victims of abuse, who find it difficult to articulate. What to Expect Dance therapy can be conducted on an individual basis on in a group, usually in a series of classes. Participants will first warm up before embarking on whatever physical action the music or rhythm suggests. The emphasis is on people 'doing their own thing', playacting, 'mirroring', or supporting others. The action is generally playful and unchoreographed, but some basic dance steps might be taught. Cloths, beanbags, balls and miscellaneous objects may be used. Dancing makes us feel good, and this natural, instinctive form of exercise can be harnessed to help us express our deepest feelings.

Dance/Movement Therapy Dance is the most fundamental of the arts, involving direct expression through the body. Thus, it is an intimate and powerful medium for therapy. Based on the assumption that body and mind are interrelated, dance/movement therapy is defined by the American Dance Therapy Association as "the psychotherapeutic use of movement as a process which furthers the emotional, cognitive and physical integration of the individual." Dance/movement therapy effects changes in feelings, cognition, physical functioning, and behavior. Dance as therapy came into existence in the 1940s, especially through the pioneering efforts of Marian Chace. Psychiatrists in Washington, D.C., found that their patients were deriving benefits from attending Chace's unique dance classes. As a result, Chace was asked to work on the back wards of St. Elizabeths Hospital with patients who had been considered too disturbed to participate in regular group activities. A non-verbal group approach was needed and dance/movement therapy met that need. The American Dance Therapy Association (ADTA) was founded in 1966 by 73 charter members in 15 states. Now, the Association has grown to nearly 1200 members in 46 states and 20 foreign countries. ADTA maintains a registry of dance/movement therapists who meet specific educational and clinical practice standards. The title "Dance Therapist Registered" (DTR) is granted to entry-level dance/movement therapists who have a master's degree which includes 700 hours of supervised clinical internship. The advanced level of registry, Academy of Dance Therapists Registered (ADTR), is awarded only after DTRs have completed 3,640 hours of supervised clinical work in an agency, institution, or special school, with additional supervision from an ADTR. In addition, as part of their written application for review by the credentials committee, applicants for ADTR must document their understanding of theory and practice.

Previous Page Alternative Therapies ACUPRESSURE ACUPUNCTURE APITHERAPY AROMATHERAPY ... YOGA DANCE THERAPY What Is It? How Does It Work? What You Can Expect Health Benefits ... Cautions What Is It? Dance therapy (also called dance/movement therapy) is the use of choreographed or improvised movement as a way of treating social, emotional, cognitive, and physical problems. Throughout the ages, people of many cultures have used dance to express powerful emotions, tell stories, treat illness, celebrate important events, and maintain communal bonds. Dance therapy harnesses this power of movement in a therapeutic setting and uses it to promote personal growth, health, and well-being. Dance as therapy came into existence as a marriage of sorts between modern dance and psychiatry. Its was pioneered by Marian Chace (1896-1970), who studied dance in New York City before establishing her own studio in Washington, DC, in the 1930s. Because Chase's dance classes provided unique opportunities for self-expression, communication, and group interaction, psychiatrists in Washington began sending patients to her. By the mid-1940s Chase was giving lectures and demonstrations, and other professional dancers soon followed her lead, using dance to help people with an array of emotional, mental, and physical problems. It was not until 1966, when the American Dance Therapy Association (ADTA) was founded, that dance therapy gained professional recognition. Today the ADTA has nearly 1,200 members in 46 states and 20 countries around the world.

The American Musical and Dramatic Academy Santa Monica College Westminster Institute of Education What is Dance Therapy? The use of dance as a therapeutic tool is founded in the idea that body and mind are completely integrated. While the relationship between the mind and body is constantly being explored, theorised and discussed, the whole area certainly highlights the ingenuity of the creation and masterpiece in the human being. The theory underlying dance therapy is that body movement reflects the inner state of the human, and that by moving the body within a guided therapeutic setting, a healing process begins. Emerging inner conflicts and issues from the unconscious to the consciousness of the person are addressed on all levels - physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Seeking the full integration of mind and body, and bringing harmony between all the aforementioned levels of the human being is what dance therapy is all about.

Dance Therapy has its roots in modern dance, from pioneers including Isadora Duncan, Martha Graham and Doris Humphrey (1920 onwards). Their work gave the foundation for expressive dance where spontaneity, creativity and individuality were allowed. Many dancers who were members of these pioneers' companies began to understand the far-reaching benefits of dance as a form of personal expression. In addition, the work of Rudolf Laban was prominent in the area of movement analysis and movement expression for both the artist and everyday worker in industrial settings, respectively. Laban worked specifically with artists, enabling them to understand how their body worked to express the inner state. He likewise worked with industrial workers during the war to enhance work capacity and efficiency.
