There is a new certification program in movement analysis and somatic practice being offered at York University, starting with a Foundation Course in July 2018. This is not a Dance Movement Therapy training program, but many of the skills involved in Movement Analysis are applicable to a DMT approach. Check out this link for more information: https://labaninternational.org/certification-program/
The NCDT has announced the dates for the International Symposium for Dance and Wellbeing! Here’s their announcement:
“Following the success of the First National Symposium on Dance and Well-Being, Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montréal’s National Centre for Dance Therapy, with the support and participation of the J. W. McConnell Foundation, is excited to announce a 3-day event featuring new research and methods in dance and well-being, with embodied learning opportunities as participants exchange expertise related to the development of this field. This event will be hosted from May 24 to May 26, 2018 at the Édifice Wilder Espace Danse, in Montreal, Canada.”
