Review on Dance-to-health

I am a Dance Movement Therapist who has worked with adults suffering from a range of problems including severe mental ill health, stress, medication , drug dependency and personality problems. MY MAIN WORK, HOWEVER, HAS BEEN WITH CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS. I have a great-nephew who has been diagnosed on the autism spectrum.

My manual tells you "How To...Dance Your Special Needs Child to improved Health and Wellbeing.

THIS MANUAL IS ABSOLUTELY UNIQUE. IT REALLY IS THE ONLY ONE OF ITS KIND! NO ONE HAS SUGGESTED BEFORE THAT PARENTS OF SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN ARE CAPABLE OF ACTING AS DANCE MOVEMENT THERAPISTS TO THEIR CHILDREN. I wrote it to encourage the parents and carers of children with special needs to set up their own Dance Movement Therapy groups. What is offered is NOT A CURE but it is a discovery which will bring about greater harmony between MIND-BODY-AND-SPIRIT. You will notice results over time. My method can be adapted to fit any culture anywhere in the world.

WHAT DOES MY MANUAL OFFER YOU?

You don't need to have trained as a professional dancer. (I didn't ) I teach you how to transform ordinary everyday movements into dance. I help you to build your lesson plans and suggest music choices and props for your sessions.

MANUAL CONTENTS INCLUDE:-

STEP#1 How parents can help their special needs child using Dance Movement Therapy.

STEP#2 Don't Panic! You can learn how to conduct Dance Movement Therapy sessions with your child.

STEP#3 My own Personal Method of Dance Movement Therapy.

STEP#4 How to create Dance Movement for your special child.

STEP#5 How to make exciting musical choices.

STEP#6 Some examples of music I have used successfully.

STEP#7 Musical instruments for the children's use during Dance Movement sessions.

STEP#8 Props for the children to use during Dance Movement sessions.

Step#9Planning your first Dance Movement session.

THERE IS ALSO A LIST OF RESOURCES WHICH I HOPE YOU WILL FIND HELPFUL.
