Welcome to the Dance Therapy Advocates (DTA) Summit site. We are so glad you are here. The DTA Summit was born out of an interest in creating community, visibility, and support for the field of dance/movement therapy.
The DTA Summit is for anyone and everyone who:
-
is interested in dance/movement therapy.
-
is a practitioner in the field of dance/movement therapy.
-
wants to connect with like minded individuals who are passionate about dance/movement and its inherent therapeutic nature.
-
wants to learn more about the field of dance/movement therapy
It is designed to meet the needs of people who do not attend annual conferences and are looking for other ways to connect to the dance therapy community. It is designed to create space for out-of-the-box thinking, showcase ways that dance therapists are working and creating work, and to connect dance therapists across the world.

***************
7:15- 8:30pm Disruption Ceremony
Join us for the "Disruption Ceremony" where together we start the journey of what happens after the summit, knowing our work shifts into personal discomfort, decolonization,and dismantling ingrained structures and processes. In this experiential session Zab Maboungou offers the theory and practice of LOKETO – posture principles and rhythmic resilience as a means to prepare to move forward by embodying social justice. The session will end with a renewed beginning of gratitude with our indigenous elder.
