Salsa With Silvia is a proud friend of the Mesothelioma Community Resource Network; a comprehensive mesothelioma cancer and family resource database. Learn how patients are integrating
dance therapy into their mesothelioma treatment:

What is Dance Therapy?

Dance therapy uses movement to allow cancer (and other) patients to express what is going on in their bodies and how they feel about it, all in a non-verbal way. Most dance therapists will note that their goal is to promote the idea that mind and body work together. Therefore, when patients can bring their emotions to the surface through dance, the body will be relieved or experience a lessening of certain problems like stress and pain.

Dance therapy has long been used with individuals who have emotional problems including victims of abuse, those with depression or anxiety, and people who have difficulty verbalizing their issues. It has had limited use with cancer patients and there is no recorded scientific evidence that it can reduce the pain experienced by those with malignant mesothelioma or other forms of the disease though many patients report feeling better after a session.
