Abstract

Dance and movement therapy has become a quickly growing field in the creative arts therapies, combining psychotherapy and embodiment. Sessions are often available in schools, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and clinics worldwide. Although dance therapy can be beneficial to individuals of all ages, genders, races, and cultures, the benefit for children is substantial. This chapter will discuss the use of dance and movement therapy with children in the United States and compare it to related practices in other countries. Additionally, approaches and techniques will be analyzed through the lens of best and most practical uses for children. Developmental disorders in children will also be examined to assess the benefits of dance therapy on cognitive, socioemotional, and physical skills. Lastly, this chapter will inspire ideas for future directions to advance the field of dance and movement therapy.
