Dance/Movement Therapist

Duties and Responsibilities: Dance therapists work with adults and children who are suffering symptoms including depression, anxiety, physical/psychiatric/neurological disorders, learning difficulties, dementia, autism, behavioural problems or congenital/emotional problems.

Salary: $60,000 - $80,000 a year or more

Education: Dance therapists are required to have a master’s degree, which entails at least two years of graduate level education after completing a four year college degree. The undergraduate education should include a liberal arts background, plus extensive dance training and experience, according to the ADTA.

Reflection: I would not want to be a dance therapist because I’m not good with communicating. Also, I wouldn’t like to dance in front of people.
