Parallels are drawn between dance therapy and Carnival, as it was evident that Carnival had positive effects on both individual people and the country as a whole. The theory behind this thesis is based on the fact that for the past one hundred and fifty years, the people of Trinidad and Tobago have been engaging in what has, within the past twenty years, been called “Dance Therapy.”</p>"}
