The material analyzed was obtained from the journals of three students in the first semester. Training methods in the field of psychotherapy were examined, as well as relevant literature in the methods of teaching dance therapy. Outlined in composite form are tasks which address the course's three primary goals: self-awareness, learning how to do a warm-up, and learning empathic mirroring. The teaching method was found to be both experiential and didactic, and closely resemble the T-Group model. The teaching and learning are both seen as building block processes, as a concept builds on the preceding one, and overlaps the one(s) which follow.</p>"}
