Cohesion Dance Project

Creative Movement Engagement Program

The Cohesion Dance Project's Creative Movement Engagement Program will introduce military-connected individuals and families in Helena, Montana, to the healing and enriching qualities of movement, dance, and art creation. Six-week class sessions incorporate a variety of art mediums, such as painting, creative writing, poetry, and photography. The pilot program invites a broad group of participants to evaluate the potential success of an expanded program across the state through in-person and virtual engagement. The program aims to provide an outlet for military-connected individuals to engage with others in similar situations, improve physical activity, and connect with their bodies physically, emotionally, and mentally in a supportive environment.
