This collection is a result of the phenomenal rise of interest in dance as a recreational, multicultural, spiritual and healing practice, in communities across North America and Europe. Why this hunger for dance? In times of high stress, dance provides an opportunity for balance. When we dance we are connected to the present, to our bodies and to the earth. We, also, find ourselves and a sense of belonging to something bigger than ourselves. In their own words, women describe how their experience of dance initiated a deeper conversation between body and soul. Useful for professional dancers, art or expressive therapists or psychologists seeking to use dance therapy, this resource offers a vivid tapestry of empowering stories reflecting women's experiences of dance as healing, both personally and professionally.
