Dance therapy has become quite popular since the start of the new millennium, even though Its roots go
back to the 19th century. Not only is it fun, but it also has a lot of physical and Mental health bene fits. It is
based on the idea that motion and emotion are interconnected. It Can help to treat various physical
ailments like cancer, arthritis, hypertension, obesity, chronic Pain, and cardiovascular disease. It also is
effective in treating mental health issues such as Depression, anxiety, dementia, and low self-esteem. It
can even help with social disorders Such as autism and trauma caused by aggression or domestic violence.
How do we know it is effective? Because there have been several studies on the topic. In a study from The
Arts in Psychotherapy, researchers found that dance therapy had a positive impact on people with
depression. A study from the American Journal of Dance Therapy found that dance therapy helped
decrease aggression and improve social behavior among teens. And there are dozens more studies that
show the benefits of dance therapy. Dance therapy is different than regular dancing. Even though regular
dance of any kind if good for your health and mood, dance therapy takes it to a different level. It becomes
more than exercise – it is a language through which people can communicate feelings. Dance therapists
guide participants and assess their body language. This becomes the therapeutic side of this activity. So, if
you are looking to take up a new good habit, try dance therapy!
