What is Polynesian Dance Therapy?
Movement is our first language. The Polynesian languages and cultures are shared through our dance therapy. Individuals are taken on a journey through the South Pacific teaching them simple dance movements from each island. The gallery below showcases several props used to help individuals be fully immersed in the experience.
