A therapy for anyone-Dance is a physical form of enjoyment as I define.What if the patients are helped by way of dancing or depressed people are made to do salsa!!!!The idea of bringing a form of art into lives of people and healing the internal soul was something that struck me and I wanted to know what has been happening around in this area.....so its called Dance Movement Therapy(dmt).it is used to treat emotional,psychological and physical impairments.It helps to fight with inner conflicts.The therapy dates back to 1940s when the dance forms were included in medical world to treat diseased like Parkinsons,Chronic backpain,Alzehmiers and even handicapped patientsWorkshops are being held in Himalaya India,where there are trained therapists. Cities like Bangalore and Chennai also have trained therapists who help people heal though dance.The classes are held in group for the sake of unity and sharing of joy.
