The DTAA welcomes applications for new members at all times.
We offer General Membership for people interested in the profession and wishing to join the community and learn more.
For those wishing to register and practise as a Dance Movement Therapist, there is a selection of membership options to start with, based on your level of training and experience. Members are supported by the DTAA to increase their skills and knowledge over time, to upgrade through higher levels of Membership and for our more experienced DMTs, to step into the role of Clinical Supervisor.
