Dance/movement therapy is indeed soaring to new heights ADTA membership is higher than ever before; conferences are better attended; we have a stronger presence in Washington, DC and enhanced visibility in regulatory agencies; we have more contributing donors than ever before; and our international membership continues to grow. How do we maintain this growth and bring dance/movement therapy to the next level?

The theme of the conference - "Exploring Vistas and Soaring to New Heights: DMT 2012 and Beyond" - invites us to take a different look at our work; not only where we have come from, but where we are headed. In what new directions have you taken your work?  Have you incorporated your dance/movement therapy training and skill set into a less traditional setting?  Have you found ways of combining dance/movement therapy and other training into your work as a dance/movement therapist?

This 47th Annual Conference will highlight the theme of exploring, discovering and growing as a profession, and so we invite proposals for papers, seminars and workshops that honor and present varied approaches in practice, theory or research. ADTA values proposals that address multicultural and diversity; therefore, presentations, seminars and workshops should include aspects of diversity and multicultural awareness or sensitivity as they relate to the topic of the particular seminar.  For guidance on 'How to Prepare a Great Conference Proposal' including criteria for evaluating submissions, please see the Tipsheet.

Please note that all proposals must be submitted through our online form.
