Beneficial for both physical and mental health, dance therapy can be used for stress reduction, disease prevention, and mood management. In addition, DMT's physical component offers increased muscular strength, coordination, mobility, and decreased muscular tension.

In general, dance therapy promotes self-awareness, self-esteem, and a safe space for the expression of feelings.
