Key Summary

About : The MS Dance / Movement Therapy Program focuses on integrating dance and movement practices in therapeutic settings. This program emphasizes body awareness and the power of movement to foster emotional and physical healing. Students will engage in both practical and theoretical coursework, preparing them to use dance as a form of communication and expression in therapy.

Career Outcomes : Graduates can pursue careers as dance/movement therapists in various settings including hospitals, schools, and wellness centers. They may work with diverse populations, including individuals with mental health issues, disabilities, and trauma, providing support through the unique language of movement.

The Dance/Movement Therapy program at Sarah Lawrence College is based on the empirically supported premise that the body and mind are interconnected and interact in health and illness.

Body movement provides both a means of assessment and a mode of intervention for dance/movement therapists, working with individuals or with groups, in the treatment of developmental, medical, social, physical, or psychological impairments. Learn to use dance/movement therapy, a psychotherapeutic use of movement, to further the emotional, cognitive, physical, and social integration of the individual.
