Dance/Movement Therapy: From Marian Chace to Modern Ecstatic Dance
1940s Washington-D.C. dance teacher Marian Chace noticed hospitalized vets relaxed after freeform movement. Her “rhythmic group” model birthed the American Dance Therapy Association (1966). Today research links moving-to-music with dopamine spikes and trauma release; ecstatic-dance scenes from SF to Bali merge barefoot improvisation with mindfulness. (Dig into Psychology Today’s article on dance therapy benefits.)
Rebecca fuses that lineage with yoga: upbeat playlists power standing flows; transitions pause for somatic shake outs; closing Om slides into improvised chant. Under disco glints, self-consciousness melts faster than sweat.
