Morphology
The phrase is fully compositional: 'dance therapy' literally denotes therapeutic use of dance and 'feminist' specifies an approach grounded in feminist principles, so the overall meaning can be derived from its parts. This modifier + noun pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows ordinary English compounding, making it readily interpretable by a B1 learner who knows the constituent words.
Etymology
Feminist dance therapy comes from women's groups that used dance to take back control of their bodies: feminist means women's-rights ideas, dance is moving the body, and therapy is about healing. So, the name shows a practice that uses dance and feminist ideas to 'empower' women and help them heal.
