Welcome to Dance Therapy


Jorge Alonso Perez founded "DANCE THERAPY" DANCE YOUR DEPRESSION AWAY! Inc. on March 21, 2003. As a 501 (c) 3 non-profit tax exempt corporation, Dance Therapy is organized to provide a framework to improve the quality of life for individuals and families in San Antonio, Texas and abroad. Our goal is to offer Introductory dance lessons to the "young at heart", whose therapeutic effects combined with relieving stress, building confidence, and self-esteem, teach healthy choices in life, strengthen spirituality and healing, as well as to provide advocacy and referral of depressed individuals to qualified mental health agencies and practitioners.

 

COMMUNITY-FAMILY-LOVE-RESPECT  

 

Our primary focus is to establish a better living environment while learning and sharing in the cultural richness of dance and music. This goal will be accomplished by relying on the effective use of inherent social bonding elements of the art of dance, which encourages everyone to be a teacher and student simultaneously in an open non-judgmental atmosphere of fun and growth. Through regular participation in the classes, one will also enjoy a sense of "oneness" through the verbal sharing of the individual's hopes and experiences, among whose commendable objectives will be to rebuild individual strength and confidence and rekindle one's essential feelings of caring and belonging to the community. 

 

COMUNIDAD-FAMILIA-AMOR-RESPETO  

 

Through the innovative effort, many individuals and families will be able to alleviate their symptoms of depression by encouraging them to seek professional help and thus fostering an intergenerational effect conducive to change in the lives of these people in our neighborhoods. Another noteworthy result will be the invaluable positive contributions that participation in this program will make to the larger "Circle of Life" in a dynamic and changing society. In addition, the Corporation will establish support groups for all ages throughout its target area to seek and identify special needs that can be addressed by this program and to assist in the creation of a stronger and united community.
