Dance Therapy Training

The Dance Therapy Program at the 92nd Street Y Harkness Dance Center provides courses for the R-DMT Alternate Route Training, CE hours for current dance therapists, and introductory courses for professionals from other disciplines.

The focus is on the roots of dance therapy in dance, the language of movement as experience and expression, and clarity in approach to methods. Special offerings focus on children and clients with disabilities.

Most Dance Therapy courses at 92nd Street Y can be taken for undergraduate and graduate credit through SUNY Empire State College for an additional fee. All courses meet the guidelines of the American Dance Therapy Association for alternate route training. For more information, please call 212.415.5555.
