Marian Chace (31 October 1896 – 19 July 1970) is one of the founders of modern dance therapy.
She studied dance and choreography with Ted Shawn and Ruth St. Denis at the Denishawn School of Dance and started work as a dance performer. However, believing that the body and mind are interrelated, and influenced by the work of Carl Jung, Chace started to teach in schools and hospitals advocating and lecturing on the therapeutic benefits of dance.[1]
She worked for a number of years with patients at Chestnut Lodge in Rockville, MD.
In the 1960s she founded a training program for dance therapists New York. In 1966 she founded the American Dance Therapy Association and became its first president.
