The profound healing properties of movement have long been utilized through such ancient arts as yoga and tai chi.  We now know that trauma is stored in our physical cells (Levine, 1997) and energy flow stagnation or blockages lead to illness (fundamental chinese medicine concept).  Movement is one way to promote optimal energy flow throughout the body.  I believe movement can be highly therapeutic, particularly movement that differs from our regular daily movement.  Aboriginal peoples from every part of the world use rhythm and dance for powerful ritual and celebration.  This art is all but lost in modern North American society.

The concept of Therapeutic Dance is providing an opportunity for free-form, creative exploratory movement to an assortment of world music in a safe and supportive environment.  I believe this type of activity can be a powerful tool for integrating mind, body, and spirit.  Such integration can be a most useful adjunct to traditional therapeutic processes and of general benefit to overall wellness.  Who knew that promoting health could be so much fun!?!
