Joy of Dance is a dance/movement therapy group for people with Parkinson’s Disease. This ongoing group meets on Fridays at 10-11 a.m. at the Seven Star School of Performing Arts in Brewster. Marie Carstens integrates movement with imagery, uses a vast array of movement qualities, rhythms and phrasing, as well as developmental neuromuscular patterns for support and coordination of movement with the goal of improving well-being and vitality as well as maintaining expressivity.
“Based on the empirically supported premise that the body, mind and spirit are interconnected, the American Dance Therapy Association defines dance/movement therapy as the psychotherapeutic use of movement to further the emotional, cognitive, physical and social integration of the individual.” – American Dance Therapy Association
Always aspiring to keep you moving freely and dancing life fully.
