The Impact of Dance Movement Therapy: Maurice Dyer's Journey

Dance Movement Therapy (DMT) is more than just movement—it's an inclusive, therapeutic approach that taps into the emotional, social, and physical benefits of dance. Over the past six months, Maurice Dyer, a participant with a spinal deformity and wheelchair-bound, has embraced DMT with enthusiasm at Emancipation Park. Through his journey, Maurice and his caregiver have shared insightful feedback on how this program has positively impacted his life. Let's explore the highlights from their responses. Physical Benefits and Well-being Since Maurice started DMT, his caregiver has noticed significant improvements in his physical well-being. One of the key developments is his increased body awareness. Maurice has shown better control and understanding of how his body moves, especially when shifting positions. For example, he now rolls from side to side and lies on his back to do his stretches with greater ease. Another remarkable change is in Maurice's posture. His caregiver not...

AIR-PAASA's First Community Dance Award

Mushroom Swimwear - Community Dance Award Every time we stage this DITP (Dance In The Park) event, there are new developments - sometimes subtle but always significant. This year, there was much uncertainty and a lack of commitment from several groups, making it hard to see the program through.

Sharon Bressett delivered as usual, accompanied by five Iona and one Mary Mount High School students. Joining the event were the Samuel family, friends of Maurice, Shanice and Dolice Dyer. The Dyer family and I have had a dancing relationship for over 12 years. Our initial count included 12 children from the local community, participating in workshops. This included students from Castleton, Scotts Hall, Golden Valley, and Devon Pen Primary Schools in St. Mary. By the end of registration, there were 45 participants between the ages of 3 and 80 years....

Spreading Joy Through Dance: My Experience at "Jamaica Moves Day!"

My Visit to Randolph Lopez School of Hope I had the pleasure of attending the Randolph Lopez School of Hope for their Jamaica Moves Day, thanks to an invitation from Mrs. Chantal Johnson-Nathan, my classmate from the ECD (Early Childhood) Level 4 program I'm currently enrolled in. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm smiles and enthusiasm from the students. It was heartwarming to see their eagerness to engage with me, with several students from grades 7 to 11 approaching me to ask about my name and who I was. Their curiosity and welcoming attitude set a positive tone for the day. However, I couldn't ignore the laidback atmosphere that characterized the event, which presented its own set of challenges. Nonetheless, I approached these encounters with an open mind, making allowances while also gently reminding my hosts of the importance of sticking to the schedule. It was essential to establish my presence and principles without dampening the spirit of the occasion. ...
