Dance, the most fundamental of the arts,
entails direct expression through the body. Thus, it is an intimate
and powerful medium for therapy. Based on the assumption that the
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 brings about changes in
feelings, cognition, physical functioning, and behavior.
The Experience
Quotient-based developmental philosophy formulated by Fr. Paul
involves the spirit of dance therapy in the activity-based training
imparted to children with developmental delays.
