International Dance Day on April 29th is an annual celebration of how dancing positively impacts our lives. The human body’s ability to move, groove, pop, and the lock has captivated the way we interact with music and express ourselves artistically.
“People reflect each other constantly, but when they dance, perhaps what they reflect most is that moment of honesty.” -Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, dancer and choreographer, message author for International Dance Day 2012.
Finding ways to relax and to let yourself be creative is a necessity in maintaining a happy and healthy life.
“When you use imagery, colors, shapes, and designs as a part of your therapeutic process, your thoughts and feelings can be expressed through your art, rather than words that are often difficult to articulate to others.” (heysigmund) Art therapy can be practiced through ways that range from sculpting to painting.
