DMT Highlights
ADTA Vice President Jody Wager is a featured speaker at the Psychotherapy Networker Symposium 2012 Thursday Evening Welcome Event, Dancing With Your Brain.

"Dance therapy is growing - the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that the number of therapists will increase by 15 percent by 2018," International Business Times reports. The article, Dance Therapy: A Profession with its Own Rhythm, features DMT professionals, Amber Elizabeth Gray, Christina Devereaux, Donna Newman-Bluestein, Nancy Koprak, and DMT student, Diana Seabra, speaking about the profession, benefits of DMT, and the expanding interest in the field.
Here, "Nancy Koprak, a dance therapist who worked at the Maimonides Medical Center for more than 20 years, and students at The New School in New York City practice dance therapy with the Octaband, a stretchy prop used in the profession."
