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. BALLROOM DANCING-MENTAL
