Mindfulness-based Dance/Movement Therapy

CARE-MOVE is a 10-week, synchronous online mindfulness-based dance/movement therapy intervention tailored for dementia care partners. Mindfulness principles are integrated into embodied and movement-based practices rather than taught as a separate comprehensive mindfulness curriculum. The intervention combines structured, self-directed, and interactive dance/movement, music, mindful meditation, sensory exploration, creative self-expression, and social support. The program progresses through five stages: emotional awareness and articulation, emotional expression and reciprocal attunement, empathy, affect modulation, and rhythmic synchrony.
