DMT or dance-movement-therapy is defined by “the psychotherapeutic use of movement to promote emotional, social, cognitive and physical integration of the individual”. In other words, “dance therapy is a form of non-verbal communication, through rhythmic movements and bodily actions, sometimes artistic, offered by a trained and competent facilitator. The sessions can allow to work through tensed areas of the body and mind,  as well as the expression of emotional needs and in order to achieve the integration and socialization of the individual, thanks to a method with a maturing and therapeutic aim” (ADTA definition). Playfulness and the joy of movement are essential elements of the sessions. Images, objects and sensations are tools used to stimulate creativity and imagination.
I advocate an integrative approach which is inspired by the different sub-branches of dance therapy, such as primitive dance, biodanza, intuitive dance, etc…
