DanceMovement Therapy workshop with the
expert Dr. Marina Toro. The main purpose of
dance therapy is to reintegrate individuals into
the group through the awareness of their own
body. Between relational impoverishment and
distortion of the body image a vicious circle
is established: the DMT intends to counteract
this phenomenon by restoring an interactive
connection between the bodies.
Through its relational matrix know-how and its
focus on psychomotor structures, DMT fits into
a bullying prevention job aiming to encourage
peer relationships with a new playful set Workshop sessions
of activities represented by dance and
movement. The strengthening of self-esteem,
the feeling of being recognized by the group to
which they belong, and the growth of coping
and anxiety and stress-management strategies
can be achieved with long-term projects of
dance therapy.
