{"value"=>"<p> <span class=\"title\">The Beginning of a Dance Therapy Session</span></p> <p>This thesis serves to go beyond descriptions and to draw out what problems exist at the beginning of a dance therapy session, and how these problems are dealt with. It will be observed that the beginnings of a dance therapy session provide important clues to the attitudes and predispositions of the group as a whole, and are a vital point at which a dance therapy session is especially vulnerable and fragile. This thesis relies on information gathered from a review of literature, which discusses the phenomena of beginnings generally and as specifically regarding dance therapy, as well as from a comparative analysis of the first five minutes of four different dance therapy sessions. The study will find primarily that the dance therapist herself is of elementary importance at the beginning of a dance therapy session in establishing a fulfilling dance therapy experience.</p>"}
