“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

Marie invites you to move at your own comfort level and ability, as well as express feelings safely and playfully. Most importantly, this dance therapy group aims toward revitalizing ourselves while we dance together.  Join me, a dance/movement therapist with over 20 years of experience helping people move more freely and fully in body and mind.
