As one of the first graduate dance/movement therapy training programs in the United States, Lesley’s Dance Therapy Specialization continues to hold the fundamental belief that dance and movement are a source of transformation for personal growth and healing. Program founder, Norma Canner, described it this way, “When we are moving spontaneously, we come closer to our primal selves and that is nurturing and healing…we use the language of movement to access deep emotions and early memories without censoring them… the dance is in you and always has been.”
*In October 2007, for the first time in its history, the Lesley Dance Therapy Specialization Program was granted Approved Program Status by the American Dance Therapy Association.
