Abstract: Little is known about how individuals with histories of sexual trauma experience dance in non-clinical settings. Dance educators outside of the clinical sphere, such as in dance studios and higher education dance programs, may lack knowledge surrounding how the experience(s) of sexual trauma can alter one's movement and involvement in the dance space. Although a growing body of research exists, specific guidelines for developing a trauma-informed curriculum are needed. This study utilized 21 qualitative interviews with dancers who had experienced sexual violence to explore how various Western dance styles intersect with their sense of mind-body connection, agency, and bodily autonomy. We explore how these dancers describe their understanding of empowerment, relationship to space, bodily disconnect, and kinesthetic perceptions, both pre- and post-trauma. Results indicate a distinct discomfort and pulling away from the body for dancers, followed by a regained sense of safety in movement when accompanied by trauma-informed atmospheres and curricula. Guidelines for establishing a trauma-informed curriculum are provided.
