3. READ THIS TEXT ABOUT DANCE THERAPY
Dance therapy has become quite popular since the start of the new millennium, even though
its roots go back to the 19th century. Not only is it fun, but it also has a lot of physical and
mental health benefits. It is based on the idea that motion and emotion are interconnected. It
can help to treat various physical ailments like cancer, arthritis, hypertension, obesity, chronic
pain, and cardiovascular disease. It also is effective in treating mental health issues such as
depression, anxiety, dementia, and low self-esteem. It can even help with social disorders
such as autism and trauma caused by aggression or domestic violence.
How do we know it is effective? Because there have been several studies on the topic. In a
study from The Arts in Psychotherapy, researchers found that dance therapy had a positive
impact on people with depression. A study from the American Journal of Dance Therapy
found that dance therapy helped decrease aggression and improve social behavior among
teens. And there are dozens more studies that show the benefits of dance therapy. Dance
therapy is different than regular dancing.
Even though regular dance of any kind if good for your health and mood, dance therapy takes
it to a different level. It becomes more than exercise – it is a language through which people
can communicate feelings. Dance therapists guide participants and assess their body
language. This becomes the therapeutic side of this activity. So, if you are looking to take up
a new good habit, try dance therapy!
