<p>danceclass: I am not at all familiar with dance therapy at all. I have worked with music therapists who have done amazing work and before going to PT school I considered art therapy as a career. When in PT school one of our classmates was a dancer and she did some work to combine the two in her practice. Go into any of these fields with your eyes open. Employability is largely tied to 3rd party reimbursement and most of these will not reimburse for services that are less mainstream. I know it was more difficult for the music therapists to find work and their pay was significantly less than the PT’s, ST’s and OT’s. This was many years ago but I expect that reimbursement has only gotten worse in recent years. Before going into any of those fields do some research about employablility. These are great fields but in a tough economy the more mainstream therapies are likely to have more job security.</p>
