{"value"=>"<p> <span class=\"title\">The Nature of the Dance in Dance Therapy</span></p> <p>The purpose of this study is to identify the nature of the dance in dance therapy based on a descriptive analysis of a videotaped dance therapy session. The literature review focuses on how art forms and dance in particular are used to communicate human ideas and emotions. It also focuses on the historical role of dance and the basic features of dance design. Using a diachronic record of the selected parameters, the session is divided into three sections, based on the presence of a particular style of dance. The three sections are then analyzed to determine what dance features are present and how they serve the therapeutic process. The three styles of dancing, classified as modern, ethnic and folk, each serve a specific purpose in the life of the group, including social integration, curative ritual, and ceremonial celebration.</p>"}
