[Adta] Student seeking Guidance

[Heather Hill]

Hi Jessica!
There is also a dance therapist called Tripura Kashyap, email: 
tripdances at yahoo.com  She is the author of a book which you would probably 
find interesting since there is general material on dance therapy as well as 
very much having a focus on its application in the author's home context, ie 
India.  The book is : "My body, my wisdom: a handbook of creative dance 
therapy", published by Penguin India in 2005.

Best wishes,
Heather
