Now more than ever, people are suffering with mental health. In our current climate of isolation, depression and anxiety, people are silently struggling and suicide is on the rise. As a community, it is our responsibility to help those in need, to reach out, and to find a way to connect.
The original language, before speech, before connection is movement. Dance has been proven as an effective way to heal from many things including depression and anxiety. Dance can be used in the assessment as well as the healing of mental and physical ailments. Dance therapy, as described by the American Dance Therapy Association (ADTA) is the psychotherapeutic use of movement to promote emotional, social, cognitive, and physical integration of the individual, for the purpose of improving health and well-being.
National Dance Clubs is partnering with Pathways Counseling to offer Free Dance Movement classes on Thursdays at 6:00 pm throughout October and Depression & Anxiety assessments and information.
Start time: 6:00 pm
