Abstract
How can dance become a useful medium for rehabilitation and alternative therapy for post-clinical populations is the primary concern of this paper. This study examines the ways in which dance/movement can purposefully aid breast cancer survivors in promoting health wellbeing, post-treatment. The first group, Candy Girls Breast Cancer Survivors, advocates dance for healing and sustenance of healthy living. The second group, breast cancer survivors from the National Cancer Society Malaysia participated in a series of psychotherapeutic sessions centred around dance activities and explored dance as a promising strategy to integrate mind, body, and emotion. This ethnographic study draws data from observations, participations, and interviews with women who have survived breast cancer and who have actively participated in various dance activities.
