COMO FUNCIONA?
It is not necessary to have dancing skills, as these are not choreographed movements but rather free and spontaneous movements, guided by creativity and personal sensation. The movements flow according to the rhythm of the music, being also guided by the dance therapist who will be observing emotions and body language. If someone is experiencing a blockage, the dance therapist can intervene, helping with creativity and fluidity by offering guidance to facilitate body expression.
