Dance therapy is an excellent way to teach children how to expend their excess energy. Hyperactive and destructive children can benefit greatly by finding an outlet for their behavior.
The interaction that occurs during dance therapy sessions aides in improving social skills in children. The child will most likely be interacting between a parent and other children in the group.
Dance therapy is limbering and improves the child’s strength, balance and flexibility, thus improving their overall posture.
Improvisation during dance therapy allows children to express and hone their creativity.
The way children relate to their bodies correlates with how they feel about themselves. Using their bodies to relieve stress and improve physical well-being allows them to feel more in control, which can increase confidence.
