Just over three years ago I lost Celia my wife of 53 years. That left a very big hole in my life so as she was I consultant psychologist I know that this thing that sits on my neck can kill or cure. So, with the power of positive thinking I tried tap dancing well at 74 I was to say the least a bit wooden in my movements. My dance teacher Gemma said that I needed to try a different form of activity to limber up the old body. Well you could have knocked me down with a feather and what did she suggest ballet! Well I had never dome it before but now I do three classes a week just me and 40 ladies, one has to suffer for ones art. So music and movement keeps you going and it is a lot of fun, both the dance and the social life. Bernard Bibby 74 UK

"The body reflects personality. Movement doesn't lie." This is such a strong and undeniable statement. I can think of so many instances in daily life where a small gesture reveals so much. For example, babies show us how they feel through movement before they can speak. Their care givers learn how to respond to their needs based solely on facial and motor expression. Efficient ability to assist one without the use of words has surprisingly endless possibilities.

I find it very interesting that a person's body language, or the "shape and rhythm" of their body can say so much about their emotions, and how we as humans can pick up on that without even trying. We were never trained in dance movement therapy, yet we have an innate sense of which movements mean what, as movement is a universal language.

What really stuck out to me from this video is that rhythm is what binds us. When i think back on being in group setting, if I am with people who are in sync with my emotions or movements for example if we are all happy and sharing similar body movements, it makes me feel more connected with those peers, rather than if I am in a sad mood, and my friend is being more active and happy, it can feel like more of a disconnect from my peers.

I like how the concept of Dance/Movement therapy breaks down that stigma and makes people more comfortable with the idea of expressing their emotions through movement and dancing. DMT has the power and ability to bring people of all ages together, and to connect with one another. I love how she chose to connect with the audience and make them think of a gesture. It created a comfortable space with everybody. When I took a DMT class, the class started off the same way, and it created a wonderful environment.

To simply express ourselves through moving our bodies, not the way we are told, but by the way we feel, connects our mind and body in such a deep way.

I find it incredibly fascinating that the nonverbal cues expressed through an individual's body language, encompassing the "form and cadence" of their movements, hold such profound meaning regarding their emotions. It amazes me how, as human beings, we possess an inherent ability to instinctively grasp the significance behind these movements, even without any formal training in dance movement therapy. This universal language of movement allows us to comprehend and interpret various gestures and postures effortlessly. The presentation I recently witnessed was immensely enlightening as it shed light on the intricacies of a dance therapy group session. As someone who has been exploring the field of dance therapy, it captivated my attention due to my keen interest in both physical therapy and dance. The talk provided valuable insights into the objectives, dynamics, and benefits associated with this form of therapy. Ultimately, this discussion greatly contributed to my comprehension of the underlying goals, the nature of group sessions, and the inherent value embedded within dance therapy.

I really appreciate the notion of movement being the first and foremost form of communication. Having taken a nonverbal course this semester, I completely agree that body movement allows for someone to communicate how they're feeling without editing or fine-tuning their true response. It's fascinating to see a group of people watching the same presentation give off different emotions through their body movements. I can't help but think that if they were prompted to do the same, but instead replace the motion with a verbalized sound, the responses would be much less candid.

Nana thank you so much for this video it really helped me understand the DMT process and how it is actually organized and used. I loved the interactive part with the audience in the middle of the video I thought that was a very helpful example.

I tried the exercise with you during the talk Nana, and I agree that it was a very helpful example. It's so inspiring to see that everyone does something different because we all feel differently.

I grew up in a very dark home as a child. I learned to live in my mind and it further isolated me from others. I remember being in my room and I would dance my heart out. I feel that it may have saved me as an adult from becoming a drug addict or criminal perhaps. I have a peace about me that is lighter than air and also rooted into Earth. I think God or Goddess or my angels led me to music and movement.

I really want to get into Dance Therapy. I have been teaching for nearly 20 years in Latin and Ballroom and although I have been helping people overcome personal issues I want to further my help to others by using dance as therapy. I am not sure how to go about this taking online courses but if anyone knows of a good school please let me know.

Great talk! But... Isn't Maria Fux the pioner of Dance Therapy?
@nanakoch5178

There are pioneers of dance therapy in several parts of the world. I am most familiar with those in the United States. In the U.S, Marian Chace was one of them. She was among a small group of women in the U.S. to first use dance for the treatment of those with a range of abilities. She was the first president of the American Dance Therapy Association and her work is what has been often (but not always) utilized when working with groups. She, along with other first generation dance therapists, understood that dance, which has been used throughout civilization as an art form to express what was/is going on in a culture, is inherently healing. In the U.S. "pioneers" include, among others, Liljan Espenak, Blanche Evan, Mary Whitehouse and Trudi Schoop. From what I know, Maria Fux developed her own system of dance therapy in Argentina and may well be a pioneer there. However, I am not familiar with her work so cannot provide more information. Hanny Exiner was a pioneer of dance therapy in Australia. I trust there are others throughout the world who use various forms of dance that are particular to their given culture in the service of therapy and healing.

@@nanakoch5178 thanks for the reply and for all the information. I'm sure that, as you said, there are many people from around the globe that are pioneers in their own ways and culture. The important thing is to keep sharing dance as a healing tool! Thank you!
