Abstract
During this unprecedented time, dance is a powerful resource to cope with anxiety, depression and chronic stress caused by current circumstances. Dance movement allows people to regain a sense of control over their lives in a time when many factors are out of our control Dance can allow people to process the socioeconomic and racial injustices still pervasive today. Dance allows us to escape our troubles and heal from the sadness, pain, and anger we are currently experiencing. Dance allows asymmetrical reciprocity through which people can recognize and value differences without bias.
