Calling all Alternate Route Students!

Have you registered as an alternate route student with the American Dance Therapy Association?

I spent this past weekend in Claremont, California, for the first half of a course on Dance / Movement Therapy with Children and Adolescents.

Some of us, myself included, were meeting for our first course in dance therapy (see earlier blog posts regarding low enrollment in the Northern California classes). We alternate route students were reminded to email the ADTA AND send in a hard copy declaration of beginning the process of becoming Dance Therapist Registered (DTR). The ADTA is in the process of modifying and changing DTR requirements, so if you get your letter to them now (and soon) you will most likely not be responsible for the changes they make in the future.

Here is some helpful information:

Email the ADTA office: info@adta.org (you may need to ask for a specific name of who to send your email and letter to.)

The ADTA national office address to send the hard copy of your letter:
10632 Little Patuxent Parkway
Suite 108
Columbia, MD 21044-3263
Fax: (410) 997-4048
Telephone: (410) 997-4040


If you have questions about being credentialed as a dance therapist, contact Gabrielle Kaufman, head of the credentialing committee at dmt@leventhal.com .

To email CMER instructor Janet Lester, ADTR, PsyD: janetlester@earthlink.com .

Remember to also join the ADTA as a student here! You will get 50% off membership as a student member.

Enjoy the dance!
