Dance therapy combines the art of movement with the science of healing, offering a unique pathway to wellness that engages your body, mind, and spirit. Unlike traditional talk therapy or conventional physiotherapy alone, dance therapy recognizes that our bodies hold wisdom and that movement can unlock healing in ways words sometimes cannot. Through guided movement experiences, improvisation, and creative expression, clients discover new ways to communicate, process emotions, build confidence, and develop healthier relationships with their bodies.
Our approach is inclusive and adaptive – you don’t need any dance experience or special abilities to benefit from dance therapy. Whether you’re recovering from injury, managing chronic pain, working through trauma, or simply seeking a more joyful connection to your body, we meet you exactly where you are and support your unique journey toward wellness.
Dance therapy is a recognized form of psychotherapy that uses movement and dance to promote emotional, social, cognitive, and physical integration. Our registered dance/movement therapists have specialized training in anatomy, psychology, movement analysis, and therapeutic techniques that make this approach both safe and effective.
We understand that each person’s relationship with movement is deeply personal and shaped by their life experiences. Our therapists create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore movement patterns, release tension, and discover new possibilities for healing and growth. Sessions may include structured movement exercises, free-form expression, breathing techniques, and mindful awareness practices.
By working with the body’s natural wisdom and capacity for healing, we help clients develop greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, and resilience.
Absolutely not! Dance therapy is about authentic movement and personal expression, not technical dance skills. Our therapists work with people of all movement abilities and adapt sessions to meet your individual needs and comfort level.
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows you to move freely. Bare feet or socks with grips are preferred, though supportive shoes are fine if needed. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable and unrestricted.
Yes! Dance therapy is highly adaptable and inclusive. Whether you use mobility aids, have chronic pain, or other physical considerations, our therapists modify movements and create accessible experiences that honor your body’s current capabilities.
Dance therapy can be very effective for trauma recovery as it works with the body’s stored memories and nervous system responses. Our therapists are trained in trauma-informed approaches and create safe spaces for processing difficult experiences through movement.
We offer both individual and group dance therapy sessions. Individual sessions provide personalized attention for specific goals, while group sessions offer the additional benefits of community support and shared healing experiences.
Individual sessions are typically 60 minutes, while group sessions may run 75-90 minutes. Session length can be adjusted based on your needs, energy levels, and therapeutic goals.
