Recent research shows that dance therapy can be effective in the treatment of mental health issues like eating disorder, depression, and anxiety. Studies have been published in Journal of Arts in Psychotherapy (2007), Alzheimer’s care (2009) and American Journal of Dance Therapy. They found that dance therapy could positively impact symptoms of depression, improve memory recall in people with dementia and may be a treatment option for children on the Autism spectrum.
