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.
