In conversation with Juilee Lanjekar, A psychologist based out in Pune with 8 years of experience in the field of alternative therapy, we will take a deep dive into dance movement therapy / art-based therapy.

Dance-based therapy is a type of alternative therapy that uses dance to heal the mind, body, and soul.

There are many benefits to using dance-based therapy as an alternative treatment for mental health issues. One of the main benefits is that it is a great form of physical activity. It is also used to express emotions and get rid of negative energy as a form of self-expression to improve mood and self-confidence. Dance movement is a form of  coping mechanism for dealing with stress and trauma.

This type of therapy is increasingly getting accepted and is also an even more accessible form of treatment than traditional forms.
