In episode 10 of the Joy Superpowers podcast, I’m talking with Erica Hornthal about the Joy Superpower of dance, movement and wellbeing. Erica is known as the therapist who moves you and is a board-certified dance/movement therapist and licensed clinical professional counsellor. Erica is also the founder and CEO of Chicago Dance Therapy and creator of the Dance Therapy Advocates Summit. Erica understands that the body, mind, and spirit are interconnected and that life is experienced through movement. Her approach allows each client to express their feelings, experiences, and ideas, with their whole body.

During the episode, we discuss topics such as:

- Everything about Dance Movement Therapy: What is it, health benefits

- Connection of Music and Dance: how do they influence each other

- Connection of mental health and body
