Post from DMTAC board members
Hello everyone,
2011 marked an important year as it is when the Dance Movement Therapy Association in Canada (DMTAC) was formed. We have been active in pushing forward new possibilities for training, advocacy and connecting dance movement therapy students and professionals.
2 Workshops were given this fall by Denise Nadeau (MDiv, DMin, BMPP) on Embodying Gratefulness which brings together the Body-Mind Psychotherapy practice of embodiment with the spiritual practice of gratefulness.
ADTA (American Dance Therapy Association) alternative route accreditation: We have been working diligently to find the most time effective and educational ways to become a dance movement therapist while in Canada. On January 17th, 2012 we had a first teleconference with International Subcommittee and Members at Large for ADTA Canadian Membership. Participants discussed the history of Canadian Membership and MALs, possibilities for joint association collaboration and other questions. If you are interested in listening to the call, please send your request to dancetherapyca@gmail.com . The replay line for this call will be available until December 1st, 2012.

Post from DMT student coordinator Farah Fancy
Hello everyone,
Happy New Year! I'm sending this message to the group
My name is Farah Fancy, a long time alternative route dmt student.
I currently work in Montreal with immigrant teens and adults using creative arts
therapies techniques to dialogue about mainly topics related to gender equality,
conjugal violence prevention, confidence building and cross cultural integration.
I co-run an afro cuban dance school to teach about afro cuban dance, movement and
culture. This has also turned into a small company that uses dance performance to
open discussion related to second generation immigrants bridging the gap between
living as a "Canadian" and adhering to the religion, values and morals of their
parents.
I was on the organizing committee of the AATQ conference "Full Circle in/of art
therapies". We continue to plan follow-up workshops for this upcoming year.
Lastly I am on the CATS week planning committee. If any of you are interested in
participating or have ideas of what would be a good way to promote dance movement
therapy in the city. Please do not hesitate to contact me. farahfancy@yahoo.ca

Happy New Year and updating the blogmeilleurs voeux à l'aube de cette nouvelle année!
Hello all and Happy New Year. Heureuses fêtes et meilleurs voeux à l'aube de cette nouvelle année! The New year's resolution for the Quebec Dance Therapy Community is to formalize our Association and to keep the blog up to date. We welcome information from across Canada and look forward to news from east to west.
The academic year in Montreal began with a wonderful and generous seminar offered by Dance Therapist Joan Chodorow who was here with several colleagues to present at and participate in the Jung Society Congress in Montreal on August 2010. Members of the creative arts therapies community met at Concordia University's Creative Arts Therapies Department where Joan offered a seminar on the work of Trudi
Schoop and a discussion on Trudi's large contribution to Dance Therapy and to Authentic Movement. She also discussed with us what it was like to study with Trudi and Mary (Whitehouse) many years ago.
Joining Joan was several of the Dance Therapy/Jungian presenters from the conference: Dance Therapist Debby Thomas; Renate Oppikofer, a senior Jungian analyst in Geneva who studied withTrudi; Tina Stromsted DMT and Jungian analyst in San Francisco;and Margarita Méndez, dancer, choreographer, psychologist, Jungian analyst, editor and now director of the analyst training program in Caracas the Venezuelan Society of Jungian analyst 22od. It was wonderful and we look forward to the return of Joan to Montreal.
In Late September Amber Grey was the Key note speaker of the conference of the Association d'Arts Therapeutes du Quebec. She also offered a full day work shop on
