Music is a key component, usually organic with real instruments and voices rather than electronic. Some sections may be danced in silence.

When Lora Wilson-Mau was researching grad

uate schools offering choreography degrees, she came across a dance therapy program and felt as if she'd been struck by lightning. "On a purely intuitive level," she says, "I knew this was my path. Even though I didn't know what dance therapy looked like, I knew that dance has always been my therapy."

Wilson-Mau went on to get her MA in

Dance as Healing and Therapy from the

u niversity of California, l os a ngeles . She completed in-depth training at

Kinections

in

Rochester, NY, which qualified her for certifi

cation in dance/movement therapy, and she now teaches n onverbal Communication and m indBody i nteraction at

somatic therapy programs available, many dancers are being called to these body- centered modes. The work typically involves psychotherapy or counseling (both individual and in families or groups) that uses move ment to address people's emotional, social, cognitive, and physical needs. It is effective for clients of diverse ages, backgrounds, cognitive levels, and physical abilities. Dance

therapists and somatic practitioners are often dance enthusiasts with an interest in well-being and mind-body awareness, and a desire to help and support others.

Dance/movement therapy is being practiced

in mental health, rehabilitation, medical, and educational settings, and in nursing homes, day care centers, disease prevention, and health promotion programs.

Wilson-Mau views the ADTA as an important

force supporting dance therapists. "Dance has always been inherently healing," she says, "but the ADTA has organized our profession with strict educational and training standards so that we could begin to gain the respect our profession deserves in the workplace, in edu cational institutions, and through legislation."

. "Enrollment in our dance therapy program has nearly doubled in the last year," she observes. "I believe the field is experi encing rapid growth across the board."

Other types of somatic/healing degrees available include body-centered psychotherapy, registered somatic movement educator (RSME) and registered somatic movement therapist (RSMT). All are practices requiring subtlety and sensitivity; each of these methods tunes into people's needs, emotions, and abilities. They are also surefire ways of making a good living doing what you love, while enriching lives with improved well-being and higher consciousness.
