For dance movement therapist Suzy Matheson, there's more to dance than perfect form. In this Art Therapy Video from Veria Living, dance is about the meaning behind the movements and the feelings the movement evokes. A dancer all her life, Suzy says she ultimately came to realize that the greatest joy dance would bring her in her life was the joy she felt by helping special-needs children to dance.

  • @dance0dream Sorry, I didn't mean Sally Fitt. she was a Dance Kines. professor. Susan Lovell was the name of the other Dance Therapy professor.

  • @dance0dream Funny you say that. Sadly there used to be an EXCELLENT graduate program in Dance/Movement Therapy at UCLA. Alma Hawkins (Former Dean of the former UCLA Dance Department) started it in the 1960's. Sally Fitt ADTR was one of the professors along with Alma. After Alma retired Erma Desmontes Alperson took it over. It was a fantastic program. Somewhere in the 1980's or 1990's UCLA ended it's entire Dance Therapy program. Alma should be rolling in her grave. : ( Darn.

  • What profoundly beautiful, healing, creative and inspiring work you are doing, "verawellness"! I have been on the path of integrating my love for the arts and my love for therapeutic healing and am starting to really define how that will manifest. In seeing the work coming into a tangible truth, I have come to a point of wanting to see who else in the world is doing this type of work already. Yours is one of the first two videos i've watched and I am lit from within knowing you do what you do.!

  • I really like that video !!

    The only problem with dance movement therapy is that they only offer 5 programs in US!!!!! They should have one more in CA !!!
