Program Spotlight: Movement Heals

摩根。杜贝

As a double major in dance and psychology, 摩根。杜贝 '24 is combining her passions, helping her to envision how the arts can be therapeutic and transformative. She is fascinated by child development and how artistic expression is a means to make important healing connections with the mind and body.

"For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a dance movement therapist," Dubay said. "In middle school, I began to see an art therapist who showed me that the arts can heal. I have personally felt the benefits of dancing through life's challenges and roadblocks. Whether it's basic movement or grooves, movement heals."
