Dance Movement Therapy is a holistic healing methodology. It is one of the art therapies. In recent years there have been significant development in dance movement and psychological theories. This has brought newer insights as to how effectively Dance Movement can be used to bring about change in people.

The underlying principle of DMT is that body and mind are inseparable. All our experiences are stored in the body memory. Body movement reflects inner emotional states and that changes in movement behaviour can lead to changes in the psyche. Every individual is capable of being creative and the creative process in itself is healing.
Dance Movement Therapy lays emphasis on self-expression and self-exploration, it provides a frame work for building interpersonal relationship, body image and personality development.
