Dance/Movement Therapy Informed EMDR for Resourcing and Reprocessing of Impactful Life Experiences

This webinar provides a brief overview of the eight phases of EMDR with a primary focus on the integration of dance/movement therapy (D/MT) at each phase. Participants will learn about the importance of embodiment and tools for maintaining dual attention and managing a system in hyper- or hypo-aroused states. Seamless interweaves of movement and somatic interventions to support therapeutic processing will be taught and case examples provided. While this webinar will focus on D/MT-informed-EMDR therapy, application of each technique within other treatment approaches for a range of populations will also be discussed. Finally, this presentation will acknowledge ongoing questions and considerations for the integration of D/MT with EMDR therapy.

Dance/Movement Therapy as an Intervention for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders

Creative movement and dance is a practical and feasible option for children with ASD. However, there exists a dearth of literature evaluating dance/movement therapy (DMT) for children with ASD, despite providing both physical and psychological benefits for children with ASD. This article aims to perform a narrative review of the literature.

Today we celebrate 60 years of the American Dance Therapy Association — 60 years of movement, connection, advocacy, research, education, and community.

For six decades, dance/movement therapists have been bringing the healing power of movement into hospitals, schools, treatment centers, community spaces, private practices, and beyond. The ADTA has grown through the dedication, vision, and care of its members — people who believed in a profession and worked together to build it.

Anniversaries are not just about looking back. They are about recognizing who we are now and where we are going.

We are the ADTA.
We are clinicians, educators, researchers, students, supervisors, and advocates.
We are the people who move with others in moments of grief, healing, growth, and change.
We are the people who believe the body holds knowledge, story, and possibility.
We are a community, a profession, and a collective voice.

As we celebrate 60 years, we also celebrate the thousands of members who have shaped this organization over time — and those who will shape the next 60 years.

We are the ADTA.

As we celebrate Creative Arts Therapies Week, we continue highlighting how dance/movement therapy supports healing and community.

Dance/movement therapy uses creativity to promote connection by engaging movement, rhythm, and shared embodied experience as pathways for relationship. Through improvisation, mirroring, and symbolic expression, individuals can communicate beyond words, deepen self-awareness, and experience being seen and supported by others.

We invite you to reflect with us:
How does dance/movement therapy use creativity to promote connection in your work?

Share your perspective and help demonstrate the power of dance/movement therapy in action.

03/18/2026

March 15–21 is Creative Arts Therapies Week.

As we continue highlighting the impact of the creative arts therapies, we invite you to reflect on how dance/movement therapy supports the people and communities you serve. In clinical settings, embodied approaches can foster connection, regulation, expression, and resilience in ways that words alone may not reach.

We invite you to share your perspective with our community by responding to this question:
How does dance/movement therapy foster well-being in your clinical setting?

Your voice helps demonstrate the real-world impact of dance/movement therapy and strengthens our collective advocacy for the field.

6th Annual Virtual Spring Summit
Resilience in Confinement: DMT and Interdisciplinary Approaches in Forensic Psychiatry
Presenter: Kavya Viswanathan, LCAT-LP, R-DMT, ERYT-500
1.25 ADTA, 1.25 NBCC

In forensic psychiatry, clients often face profound grief tied to the loss of freedom and recurring behavioral patterns shaped by trauma. This presentation explores how Dance/Movement Therapy combined with art therapy, yoga, and creative writing can serve as mirrors for resilience. Drawing from clinical practice at Bellevue Hospital, two case examples will illustrate how embodied, interdisciplinary approaches support clients in expressing grief and transforming restrictive patterns. Participants will engage in brief experiential practice and discussion, leaving with strategies for integrating dual-modality interventions and renewed confidence in the body's capacity for recovery and transformation.
