Dance Movement Therapy
Association of Australasia
The Dance Movement Therapy Association of Australasia Incorporated (DTAA) is dedicated to serving people in our communities through the transformative power of Dance Movement Therapy:
Dance Movement Therapy (DMT) is the relational and therapeutic use of dance and movement to further the physical, emotional, cognitive, social, and cultural functioning of a person.
As the peak body for DMT in Australasia, the DTAA sets the standards for excellence in practice, training and research, and publishes a Register of qualified and experienced DMT professionals.
Our mission is to promote the growth, development, and recognition of this profession by connecting with allied health professionals, peer organisations, government bodies, education providers and the broader community. We warmly welcome you to join us on this journey.
“We dance from the moment our feet touch the Earth”
