Dance/Movement Therapy (DMT) has been embraced by Chinese middle-class individuals after Covid-19 Pandemics. With massive amounts of advertisements on Chinese social media, DMT is described as effective to balance body-mind relationship as well as to regulate the emotions and healthy interpersonal relationships. Meanwhile, participants pay for group sessions of DMT, where they can interact with therapists and other participants by either spoken language or body movements and go through the therapeutic process together. This paper, based on ethnographic interviews with DMT therapists and participants in China, argues that the facilities, practitioners and participants of DMT workshops together construct the landscape of “nature” in DMT workshops and establish a semiotic link between the sensory practices in DMT workshops and “naturalness.” This pursuit of the perception of “naturalness”, as a somatic self-cultivation, has its political and economic implications: DMT provides an outlet of social connectivity for people in Chinese urban contexts who experience isolation, exhaustion, and overwork. The sensory practices in DMT twist and reframe everyday sensory experiences, reclaiming and affirming the sensory dimensions that are often stripped away by political and economic hegemony in daily life. Through these practices, the material and symbolic worlds shaped by sensory deprivation are reconstructed. Participants transform from being collectively managed bodies into active, expansive, and porous individuals. This form of resistance manifests as somatic self-cultivation and can be translated in practice to the pursuit of specific bodily qualities: openness, softness, and naturalness. Also, because this resistance is grounded in personal bodily practice instead of being a mass protest or activism, it remains safe and moderate, which aligned with the urban middle class’s expectations and interpretations of political engagement.
