The Center for Movement Education and Research (CMER) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the use of movement and dance as a creative and integrated source for improving educational, medical, social and cultural domains.

Our curriculums are founded on the premise that movement has the power to facilitate education and healing, to foster learning, creativity, and health. We believe that people of all ages benefit from moving with mind-body awareness and creative choice. CMER provides several avenues for participation and learning:

• Children’s Creative Movement Classes

• Dance/Movement Therapy Training Courses
Workshop & Seminars

• Kinesthetic Education
Embodied Leadership Training

• Continuing Education (CE) seminars for
dance therapists, psychologists and licensed
therapists in MFT or social work.

• Research
