Description
The American Dance Therapy Association (ADTA) was founded in 1966 to establish and maintain high standards of professional education and competence in the field of dance therapy. Dance therapy is the therapeutic use of movement to further the emotional and physical integration of a person. The ADTA holds annual conferences and supports formation of regional groups, conferences, seminars, workshops, and meetings. Through such meetings and through its publications it stimulates communication among dance therapists and members of allied professions. Information on training, internships, and registration may be obtained from the Association.
