Event Description

The body is far more resilient than we imagine. 

Dance Movement Therapy (DMT) is a form of expressive arts therapy that begins with a simple premise: the body already knows things the mind has not yet found words for. Through guided movement, somatic awareness, and mindful exploration, this workshop invites you to tune into that wisdom.

For all bodies, from all backgrounds, the aim is practical as much as it is experiential. By identifying the movements and sensations that anchor feelings of ease, confidence, and well-being, you will leave with a functional toolkit of somatic practices for everyday life.

Come as you are. Meet yourself.

This event is a part of our programming to celebrate World Dance Day 2026, ‘The Many Lives of Dance’.
