Abstract

Working using Dance Movement Therapy (DMT) in service of geriatrics for a year and three months. A reflection on how DMT was supportive to the population's needs to develop a healthier body image. Dance Movement Therapy offered as a weekly activity, an hour and a half session has helped to grow the seniors' confidence in their bodies and movement, desire to participate and play as well as ability to focus and be present. The setting was an open setting with a few core people; the group included some seniors with different physical challenges, depression and dementia.
