WHAT IS WU TAO DANCE THERAPY: Combining movement, meditation and music, Wu Tao – or ‘The Dancing Way’ provides a workout for mind as well as body. Wu Tao (pronounced woo dow) is the logical fusion of healing and dance. Wu Tao is a healing therapy which uses dance, music, movement and meditation to balance the Chi (life-force energy) in the body. It has its foundations in Oriental medicine and is a system of healing, with a holistic philosophy and practice, that restores balance to the person on all levels and creatively expresses the five elements of air, water, wood, fire and earth. Wu Tao is an alternative to doing a class in yoga, tai chi or pilates. Not only is it a physical workout, it is a healing one as well. It is a therapy for body and soul, and works on many levels, the physical, energetic and spiritual. This is all done without too much thought. Rather, by performing the dances you become focused and still, and openings are created that allow a natural balance to be restored. The dances are learned and then performed to music to complement the energy and quality of the Earth element for which it is used. “It is a beautiful thing to do,” says Licensed Instructor Elena. “It’s not hard to learn, and easy to follow.”
