A Message from the ADTA President Elect

There has never been a better time in history to be a therapist. With all of the body sensed stress and trauma that people are experiencing faster than they can process, there’s never been a better time to be a dance/movement therapist! It’s time for us to make dance/movement therapy a highly requested approach to health and healing.
