The danceWELL

Are you a dancer involved in the Healing Arts in Canada? Would you like to meet other dance professionals to discuss where dance can move to further support health within our communities and how we can support one another to accomplish this? The following audio file is a summary of our first meeting, as reviewed by co-founders Miriam Schacter, Psychotherapist [founder danceFIT danceABILITIES Canada], Twyla Kowalenko, MSW [Community Outreach Director of Dance Our Way Home] and member Guiomar Campbell, Lotus Arts and Wellness [creator of Biosync-rhythm movement]

For this initial meeting participants had a minimum of 2 years leadership experience in dance and healing arts.

Discussion topics so far included: personal meeting and introductions; talking about possible solo and joint ventures; research possibilities (medical, arts-based, blended methodologies); what we see in the communities and what is not being tended to; the state of dance-therapy in Canada; funds currently available to dancers in health or community projects; insurance complications; and what to do when a space-rental proves difficult. If you have topics you would like to see discussed at our first meeting, please let us know! www.thedancewell.blogspot.com
