About Maria Fux
Argentinian Dancer, Choreographer, Dance Therapist
Maria Fux was born in 1922 in Buenos Aires, and she started her career as a dancer at a young age. She was one of the prima ballerinas of the Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires between 1954 and 1960. In 1968, she presented her paper, "The Dance Therapy", at the World Congress of Music Therapy, introducing the theme of the importance of dance as an educational tool and a means of expression for hearing-impaired people. Since then, Fux has become a leading figure in dance therapy education and training in Europe and America.

Today, Fux's method is used for rehabilitation and treatment of patients of different ages with sensory impairments and Down syndrome, as well as various psychological or physical conditions. On 14 May 2002, Fux was honoured as an Illustrious Citizen of Buenos Aires.
