Therapeutic Dance for Mental Well-being

Dance has been used for centuries as a form of expression, celebration, and healing. In recent years, therapeutic dance has gained recognition for its positive impact on mental well-being. By combining movement with music, individuals can explore their emotions, reduce stress, and improve their overall mental health.
