When words aren’t enough — body expression brings you back to yourself
Dance Movement Therapy and wellness sessions in Vienna — for emotional healing, stress relief, and personal growth
Therapeutic & welness movement sessions in Vienna, guided in English — for emotional release and embodied healing.
Does your body feel…
✨ …tight, stressed, or constantly activated?
✨ …disconnected from joy, ease, or creativity?
✨ …overwhelmed with emotions — or totally shut down?
✨ …exhausted from holding everything together?
if yes, you’re not alone —
and your body is simply asking for a different kind of support.
You may try to think or talk your way through, but your body holds what words can’t express. Life lives in the body — not just in the mind.
When it’s given space to move and feel, something softens - and healing begins.
This work is not about dance — it’s about how you feel.
Why Dance Movement Therapy Helps When Talking Isn't Enough
How Dance Movement Space supports you
Your body holds more wisdom than your thoughts can reach.
When you give it space to move and express, you start to release what’s been stored inside — stress, emotions, and old patterns.
🌿 Through mindful, creative movement, you reconnect with your body’s natural rhythm.
🌿 Every body-oriented session invites you to explore presence, flow, and authentic expression —to feel supported, grounded, and alive in your body again.
🌿 At Dance Movement Space you experience therapeutic/ creative process using gentle movement, sensations, grounding, and verbal reflection.
Three ways to reconnect
Individual therapy
A safe, one-on-one space where we explore your unique movement patterns and the stories they hold.
Through the tools of Dance Movement Therapy, we gently open new possibilities in your movement and expression — supporting emotional release, self-awareness, and lasting change from within.
Dance movement circles
Small free group Mind-Body Wellness sessions for Personal Growth that calls you to explore your movement patterns in a supportive and creative space.
Through guided explorations, music, and authentic expression, you gently expand what feels possible — reconnecting with your body, your emotions, and your natural rhythm of flow and change— no dance experience needed.
Workshops & Events
Occasional workshops that invite deeper movement exploration in a shared, creative space.
Together, we open space for connection, expression, and new possibilities — where movement becomes a pathway to insight, creativity, and gentle transformation.
Hi, my name is Zuzana
I’m Zuzana Oppolzer — a mover, mother of two children and Dance Movement Therapist under supervision.
For over 15 years, I’ve been teaching dance — guiding people through choreography, rhythm, and expression.
Yet, over time I realised something essential was missing.
So much of dance focused on steps and perfection — but not on how we truly feel in our bodies.
When I discovered 5 years ago the world of authentic, body-based movement, something shifted. It felt deeply liberating — a return to presence, creativity, and truth.
Now, my work blends Dance Movement Therapy principles, mindfulness, and creativity to create a calm, supportive space where you can slow down, release tension, and rediscover your natural rhythm.
Your body already knows the way — I simply help you listen. 🌿
If you’re curious but unsure, these answers might help you take your first step
-
Not at all. This isn’t about learning steps or performing. It’s about how your body feels, not how it looks. You can come exactly as you are — tired, curious, messy, emotional — it’s all welcome here.
-
We always begin by arriving —through breath, grounding, and gentle movement. Then, you’re guided to explore expression through your body’s natural impulses — sometimes slow and mindful, sometimes playful and free. There’s space to reflect, share, or simply notice what changed.
Every session is different, because you are different each time.
“Is this a dance class?”No. Dance Movement Therapy is a therapeutic process, not a dance class.
No choreography. No performance.
Your natural movement is enough. -
That’s completely natural. Movement often releases stored feelings. You’re supported to experience emotions safely, with guidance and care.
-
Many people feel that way at first. The space is small, non-judgmental, and built on respect. You decide how much you move, share, or stay quiet — there’s no pressure to perform or even talk. It’s enough to just be present.
-
Comfortable clothes that let you move freely and breathe easily. You can be barefoot or wear soft socks. Bring a bottle of water and, most importantly, an open mind — everything else is already here.
-
For anyone feeling tense, stuck, overwhelmed, or simply curious to explore themselves through movement. You don’t need to identify as a dancer — just a human being with a body that feels and remembers.
-
In Vienna, in a calm studio environment, at Hilfswerk on Florianigase or sometimes outdoors during special workshops.
-
Both. You can join small group circles for shared connection or book individual sessions for a more personal process.
