Hello and Welcome

Hello and Welcome to the Dance Movement Therapy Info Site!
We are in the process of updating the blog. This site is for both students and professionals in Dance Movement Therapy (DMT); it is a site where information, articles, news updates and links to relevant sites are posted. It is a place where news about Dance Movement Therapy courses, seminars, information sessions and questions can be shared. The blog is a place where you can become informed on topics related to this field and to share information, experience and passion about DMT and its important place in the Creative Arts Therapies. Your input and ideas concerning DMT and/or this blog would be greatly appreciated. Please send these ideas to Kimberly at dmtinfo@alcor.concordia.ca. Information about the summer course in DMT will be posted soon. Keep checking back here for more information. More soon!

Invitation to write about your experience as a Dance Movement Therapy Assistant at the Centre for the Arts in Human Development

This spring a number of very valued volunteer Dance assistants are working with the preparation for the Centre's 10th anniversary Gala performance . Here you will find some comments from their experience.

An Invitation to the Gala- celebrating the CAHD 10th Anniversary

Dance Movement Therapy is an integral part of Concordia's Centre for the Arts in Human Development (www.cahd.net). Students in Dance and Dance Therapy are an important part of the preparation of the Dances and chorus numbers for the Gala. They have also worked closely with participants during the preparation. The Centre's 10th Anniversary Celebration takes place on June 17th at the Outremont Theatre. You will see that we are featuring the highlights of the past shows the Centre has produced, and all the actors who have returned to do the show are busy rehearsing to perform in this show, which will tell the story of the Centre and its progress since the beginning.

The Centre just received a distinguished international award from the AAMR, an organization promoting social policy, research, professional practice and human rights for persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The award for Social Inclusion- in the category of Research and Innovation- was presented to the Centre on May 4th at the International Summit for an Alliance on Social Inclusion held in Montreal.
