I am a dance teacher. I am interested in any information or studies someone might point me toward concerning the effect of physical movement on an individual's psychology. Thank you for your assistance.

There is some (openly promotional) information on Dance Therapy at http://www.studyoverseas.com/performingarts/eds/dance.htm that might be useful to get you started.

See also the website of the American Dance Therapy Association at http://www.adta.org/ . Their newsletter is on-line, and they have published a number of books and conference proceedings, plus the American Journal of Dance Therapy, which is published Kluwer.
