Dance as Therapy
Dance Movement therapy can compliment other verbal therapies or work on its own as an effective way to reconnect your mind and body through a mindful somatic experience, help shift trauma, support physical rehabilitation from injury or re-program your body to break bad habits of movement that are restricting you from living your best life in your body today.
The dance forms we practice at Jungle City naturally have elements of SMT techniques within them so our approach to integrating Dance therapy into our sessions utilises elements of these dance styles, along with elements of other western DMT modalities such as Bartenieff fundamentals, Feldenkrais method, combine with yoga movements and breathing techniques to create a unique experience aimed at healing, stimulating energy flow and strengthening our mind-body connection.
We offer our Dance as therapy practice in individual and group sessions upon request as well as deliver set programs throughout the year. Please see the schedule below for upcoming programs or make a booking for private sessions.
