Dance/Movement: Course Listings
The courses in the Hahnemann Creative Dance/Movement in Therapy Program are in two categories—Core Courses and Modality Courses. All students in the program take the core courses. Students in art therapy, dance/movement therapy, and music therapy, take core courses together. This core curriculum provides a theoretical and clinical foundation upon which art, dance/movement, and music therapy are based.
The program is a sequential one in which the courses are presented in a particular order and are integrated with other courses that complement the learning. Dance/Movement Therapy students are required to take all of the core and dance/movement therapy modality courses which integrate the theoretical concepts from the core curriculum with theory and practice of dance/movement therapy. Please note course descriptions may be found on the course catalog site.
