Dance therapy, the Cuban way

Help

In Cuba children and young people with special needs, including Down's syndrome and various physical disabilities, benefit from a unique rehabilitation programme: Psicoballet.

That is the name of a dance therapy that has been used as an official medical treatment in Cuba since the 1970s.

It has helped over 25 thousand people feel better - physically and emotionally.
