Have you heard anything about it? Maybe you went to it? Did you like it? I found a place which offers this and the descriptions looks nice and I almost want to go there, but not entirely sure

Hi 3velniai
Good to see you again.

I think I've heard of dance movement therapy.
I've never done it, but when I was in residential treatment, we had a group called Movement Therapy. We would do different movements focused on expressing various feelings, often times with verbal interaction as well. I found it to be interesting and helpful, although a little awkward at times.

I think it would be interesting to try dance movement therapy -
why not give it a try! You wouldn't have to go back if you didn't like it....or even stay for the whole class, really.

I don't know if the following are officially considered psychological movement therapies or considered "dance" but I know they have been proven to affect mood and brain chemistry but here is a list of names to google.

Wetzig coordination patterns- Elizibeth Wetzig is a professional dancer and this technique comes from that discipline.

Tai chi and qi gong both include specific movement patterns.

Functional Movement approaches inclued the Alexander technique and Feldenkrais

I don't know of any specific dance movement therapies but it sounds intriguing to me!
