INTRODUCTION TO
DANCE MOVEMENT THERAPY
The International Dance Therapy Institute of Australia Inc (IDTIA) has been offering long-term training
and short courses in Dance Movement Therapy (DMT) since 1989.
In November 2024, we will commence the 2 year IDTIA Clinical Training in Dance Movement Therapy (DMT CT) course.
The Introductory course is a prerequisite for enrollment in the DMT CT course.
Our Introductory Workshops for 2024 will provide experiences of dance movement in the therapeutic context. They will introduce participants to some of the core skills used by Dance Movement Therapists working in clinical and community settings. The workshop is suitable for dancers, therapists and health workers, interested in the application of dance movement therapy for groups with a social or health issue.
Participants will be required to attend the full day if considering applying for the Clinical Training in Dance Movement Therapy. These are the final introductory workshops to be offered prior to the commencement of the DMTCT course in November.

‘Dance movement events have the potential to alter an individual’s perceptual frame of reference, thereby allowing maladaptive patterns to be released and new behavior to be developed’ (1993)
