Psychotherapeutic Dance Movement:
Reflective understanding through theory and practice
October 28, 2022
Carol Kaminsky MA, BC-DMT, FSOM Dance Program Director
Jorge Morejon PhD FSOM Dance Program Lecturer
Nicole Perry MA…FSOM Dance Program Lecturer
This presentation focused on courses in dance therapy which provide a unique opportunity for students to learn how art-based expression, communication, and engagement is therapeutic for people coping with various developmental, physical, and psychological impairments. Topics in this course examine the concerns relevant to college students, body image, stress reduction, self-care, peer acceptance, and identity. Presenters discussed how lessons bridge understanding of theory and practice in dance therapy with self-awareness. Professors Kaminsky, Morejon and Perry showed videos of students' work which explore personal and cultural assumptions, messages about bodies and embodiment through solo/group movement and personal reflection.
Dance Intervention led by Professor Kaminsky
