Welcome!

We want to build a future

where every PA ADTA member

has the capability to

practice, supervise, learn, & research Dance/Movement Therapy

that is rooted in creativity, passion,

and equitable opportunities.

Our Mission

The purpose and aim of the Pennsylvania Chapter of the American Dance Therapy Association, Inc, shall be to support and maintain high standards of the professional competence among dance/movement therapists, by:

promoting the continued education of dance/movement therapists;
serving as a communication liaison between the National Association and the membership;
advocating on behalf of the field and membership at the levels of licensure and government affairs;
providing educational advocacy for those on their journey of becoming a DMT and bridging gaps as our members transition from student to professional; and
providing an opportunity for accountability, equity, and anti-racism work within our organization and membership.

The Chapter will also endeavor to provide avenues of communication among dance/movement therapists, and those persons working in related fields, and students; and to increase the general public’s awareness of dance/movement therapy.

Our Inclusion Statement

The PA ADTA is committed to cultivating and preserving a culture of inclusivity, respect, and connectedness that celebrates the richness and totality of our diverse membership. The PA ADTA acknowledges historical harm in our organization and believes in the active creation of equity through a commitment to social justice advocacy on the behalf of its members. The chapter does not privilege any single group identity over another. We strive to support diversity of thought, culture, background, education, identity, ability, and perspective through the process of acknowledging past inequities that have been perpetuated. Thus, creating resources and opportunities to repair relationships to all of our members and the communities to which they belong.
