Description
Achala V Kumar, A A S Azam and Fouzia Alsabah Shaikh evaluate, in 2026, mindfulness-based dance movement therapy for disadvantaged children at a charity in the Delhi region of India. Children from low-income backgrounds often lack support for emotional and social growth. Combining mindfulness with expressive movement aims to integrate mind and body.
One hundred children aged 10 to 16 were split into treatment and control groups. The therapy ran for fifteen weekly hour-long sessions, with loneliness and aggression measured before, after and at three-month follow-up. Statistical tests showed significant drops in both loneliness and aggression in the treatment group compared with controls. Follow-up comparisons suggested at least part of the loneliness gain faded over time.
