Educating the Public
Dance/Movement Therapy is a profession based upon body-mind
relationships. Concepts of dance and movement are used
psychotherapeutically in a process to further the emotional, cognitive,
physical and spiritual integration of clients. Practitioners work with
individuals of all ages and with a wide range of emotional and physical
problems.
The principles and practice of the dance/movement therapy profession
are not well understood by the public or other health and educational
professionals. The Marian Chace Foundation (MCF) is dedicated to
introducing the power of communicative dance and body awareness as
treatment in health and educational settings.
Educating Professionals
The Foundation also works to further educate those in the
dance/movement therapy profession. An annual Marian Chace Foundation
Lecture Series sponsors scholars whose lectures are then published in the
American Journal of Dance Therapy. See at right for past speakers in this series.
