Leader: Robert “FANTUM” Bell

Group: Making Moves: Hip Hop and Dance Therapy

Goal: To increase the magnitude and frequency of adaptive behaviors by using Hip Hop culture and dance/creative movement:

1) to express and channel feelings, thoughts and emotions

2) to regulate behaviors by evaluating the relationship between thoughts/emotions/feelings and actions/behaviors/movement

3) as a coping mechanism

4) to develop alternative responses to conflict and challenges (both internal and external)

5) to build self-confidence and positive body image
