DMT = Dance/movement therapy¹
AD = Adapted dance²

¹Dance/movement therapy is used either as a complement to various medical or psychotherapeutic treatments or as a main therapy. The American Dance Therapy Association (ADTA) defines DMT as the “use of movement to promote emotional, social, cognitive, and physical integration of the individual, for the purpose of improving health and well-being”.

All the DMT classes at the NCDT are offered by certified dance-therapists or DMT interns.

²Adapted dance has a recreative goal and is dedicated to having fun, while in a safe and adapted environment.
All the adapted dance classes are offered by a duo, with a dance professor assisted by a health professional (including dance-therapists).

Classes take place at Les Grands Ballets' Studios. Find all the information on classes currently being offered, registration and the class schedule :
