To celebrate its 10th anniversary, the Hong Kong Dance Movement Therapy Association (HKDMTA) is proud to present its first-ever conference:
"Dance Your Inner Voice: Explore the Healing Power of Movement."
This conference aims to raise public awareness about the unique aspects of Dance Movement Therapy (DMT) and its holistic approach to mental and physical well-being. We will highlight the growing body of evidence supporting DMT’s effectiveness across diverse populations, examine the psychological, neurobiological, and interpersonal mechanisms behind its success, and showcase innovative applications of DMT in addressing contemporary challenges. Additionally, this event will serve as a platform to connect practitioners, researchers, and allied professionals, fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange.
The conference will center around three key themes:
1️⃣ Foundations of Dance Movement Therapy
2️⃣ Evidence-Based Practice in Dance Movement Therapy
3️⃣ Applications Across Diverse Populations
Through a dynamic mix of keynote speeches, panel discussions, research presentations, experiential workshops, and live demonstrations, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of DMT’s transformative power. The event will showcase how DMT addresses various challenges, including mental health conditions, physical rehabilitation, developmental disorders, geriatric care, and community healing. To deepen the learning experience, we will also offer in-depth workshops and webinars with international DMT pioneers throughout June 2025.
We welcome a diverse audience, including DMT practitioners, mental health professionals, allied health professionals, social workers, educators, researchers, and anyone interested in the intersection of movement and healing.
By the conclusion of this conference, we aim to:
- Enhance public understanding of DMT’s role in holistic well-being
- Strengthen the evidence base for DMT through shared research findings
- Foster interdisciplinary collaborations
- Inspire new applications of DMT in addressing societal challenges
- Empower participants with practical skills and knowledge
