The Dance Therapy Advocates Summit is for anyone and everyone who:

• is interested in dance/movement therapy,
• is a practitioner in the field of dance/movement therapy.
• wants to connect with like minded individuals who are passionate about dance/movement and its inherent therapeutic nature.

It is designed to meet the needs of people who do not attend annual conferences and are looking for other ways to connect to the dance therapy community. It is designed to create space for out-of-the-box thinking, showcase ways that dance therapists are working and creating work, and to connect dance therapists across the world.
