What kind of dance we dance in a session of Dancetherapy?

We dance a dance that pushes us to discover our body among other bodies

We dance mirroring the gestures of the others and their become ours

We dance and pulse with the rhythm

We dance new movements that spread out from our own creativity

We dance our vital energy

we dance the joy, the amazement, the fun, the beauty

to meet ourselves and others in a new artistic way
