Dance therapy: the right way to use it in practice thanks to sound training with courses and seminars

More and more people are specializing in dance therapy or undergoing further training in this field. This form of therapy focuses on the individual's behavior in movements. Each patient has a specific form of expression that they use with great naturalness. With dance therapy, problems become tangible in a process of counseling and discussion. This is the first step in a process of change.

 

Numerous institutes offer courses, training programs and seminars on dance therapy. Are you looking for a suitable provider? You will find a large selection at www.ausbildung-weiterbildung.ch. Ask for detailed course documentation about the offer of your choice. Simply use the contact form.


Questions and answers

Tanztherapeuten und Tanztherapeutinnen finden in Heimen, Kliniken, Praxen, in Schulen und sozialpädagogischen Institutionen tätig, in Tageskliniken, Sonderwerkstätten, psychiatrischen und psychosomatischen Arztpraxen, in psychiatrischen Einrichtungen, in Nachsorgeeinrichtungen und bei Beratungsstellen, in psychosomatischen Einrichtungen, im Freizeitbereich oder auf selbständiger Basis.

Spezielle Tanzerfahrung oder gar eine Tanzausbildung ist für die Zulassung zu einer Ausbildung in der Tanztherapie nicht notwendig. Eine normale körperliche und psychische Belastbarkeit, Freude an Bewegung und eventuell bereits praktische Erfahrung mit Bewegung sind ausreichend.

Je nach Schule hat die Tanztherapie Ausbildung eine unterschiedliche Dauer. Etwa zwei bis drei Jahre dauert meist die Grundausbildung, weitere zwei Jahre die Aufbauausbildung.

Vor allem für Berufspersonen aus der Pädagogik und Sonderpädagogik, der Medizin, Therapie oder der Bewegung kann eine Ausbildung in der Bewegungs- und Tanztherapie eine grosse Bereicherung darstellen.

Die Lerninhalte der Tanztherapie-Ausbildung können je nach Schule sehr unterschiedlich sein, etwa: Themenzentrierte Intervention; Motorische Beobachtungskriterien; Spezielle Personengruppen; Bewegungsnotation; Verkörperung & Intersubjektivität; Selbsterfahrung; Bewegungssyndrome; Personenzentrierte Intervention; Diagnostik; Gruppensupervision, Einzelsupervision; Intervision; ICF-Standards. Andere Schulen legen ihre Schwerpunkte auf Improvisationen, Solo-Choreographien, Verhaltensmuster, Entspannungsmethoden, Bewegungsmethoden, Körperwahrnehmungsmethoden, Stimmarbeit, Atemarbeit, Yogatechniken, Meditationstechniken, Gestaltung des psychischen und physischen Raumes, Gruppenchoreographien, Musikauswahl, Didaktik, Körperarbeit, Ausdrucksfähigkeit und Gesprächsführung.

Abhängig von der Art der Tanztherapie Ausbildung und der Schule werden verschiedene Abschlüsse an die angehenden Tanztherapeuten und Tanztherapeutinnen verliehen, etwa „Dipl. Bewegungsanalytiker/in, Methode Cary Rick (DBA)“, „Diplom Tanz- und Kunsttherapeut/in“, „Tanz- und Bewegungstherapeut/in“ oder „Prozessorientierte/r Tanz- und Bewegungstherapeut/in“.
