Je danse donc j'existe

For several years, our society has been rediscovering the therapeutic value of dance: dance can express things we cannot say in words, free us from our tensions and frustrations, heighten our awareness of the universal rhythms flowing through our body, make us part of a group... People seek out dance lessons and places to dance as a form of self-care and self-development. In this book we are introduced to dance therapists who have created their own school, as well as two of their predecessors: Isadora Duncan and Gurdjieff. Patrice van Eersel meets with two great contemporary dance figures, Carolyn Carlson and Angelin Preljocaj. Questioned on the subject of dance therapy, the American dancer states: "I cannot imagine a more beautiful therapy than dance". Dance can transform our life. As Patrice van Eersel writes, "Humans are fundamentally created to make their life a dance".
