MS Dance / Movement Therapy Program

The Dance/Movement Therapy program at Sarah Lawrence College is based on the empirically supported premise that the body and mind are interconnected and interact in health and illness.

Body movement provides both a means of assessment and a mode of intervention for dance/movement therapists, working with individuals or with groups, in the treatment of developmental, medical, social, physical, or psychological impairments. Learn to use dance/movement therapy, a psychotherapeutic use of movement, to further the emotional, cognitive, physical, and social integration of the individual.
