Abstract: As a non-verbal psychotherapeutic technique, expressive arts therapy has become more and more internationally recognized and valued as a way to convey therapeutic messages, relieve emotional distress and enrich psychological experiences through various artistic expressions, and has many rich extensions. Dance is one of the core therapeutic modalities. With the support of Beijing Normal University’s Leyu College, our team designed and conducted two online dance therapy courses, and revised and improved the course content, with the aim of enabling participants to quickly understand dance therapy, feel the unpredictable and wonderful experience that dance therapy brings, and harvest the positive emotional values within. Through this online course activity, we are not only demonstrating the basic experience of dance therapy, but also providing a direction for the development of the online course and making specific suggestions for the development of the online course.
