Gravity Dance Method Therapy
Gravity Dance Method Therapy
This is the Method that is applied in therapy.
The individual and I enter into a therapeutic alliance. After release forms are signed and goals of therapy are discussed the client and I work together to achieve their states goals. As a licensed mental health counselor and registered dance movement therapist I offer both talk therapy and movement therapy to achieve the goals of my clients.
The GravityDance Method seeks to provide opportunity for relational exploration and increased self-awareness using movement and props (fabric).
Using this method, users will develop and regulate engagement in 3 domains:
- Regulate body – Breathe
- Facial – Eye Contact
- Physical – Spacial Awareness
- Sensory – Tactile, Visual, Proprioceptive, Vestibular
dance is simply the refinement of human movement - walking, running, and jumping. We are all experts. There should be no art form more accessible than dance, yet no art is more mystifying in the public imagination.

GravityDance Method class content teaches individuals to “Move With a Purpose” through 55 minutes of a combination of dance styles that blend dance and movement exercise. We move with intention and expression, rather than moving in a state of mindlessness or without direction. This movement practice helps individuals to come to know their bodies.
The dance class includes a warm-up followed by choreographed dances taught to popular music and rhythms that span the globe. These dances are focused on increasing the heart rate and giving opportunity to express emotions through the body. The class concludes with a cool down and gentle stretch.
Through GravityDance Method, you will become more familiar with your own body and through this exercise, better understand the true value of your own actions.
