Which organization is dedicated to the profession of dance/movement therapy?

• A. American Therapeutic Recreation Association
• B. American Dance Therapy Association
• C. Arts Therapist Registered-Board Certified
• D. Board Certified-Dance/Movement Therapist

Answer: (B)

The profession is represented by a dedicated national association—the American Dance Therapy Association. This organization focuses specifically on dance/movement therapy, promoting education, establishing professional standards and ethics, accrediting graduate programs, and administering practitioner credentials. The other options don’t fit because they relate to broader recreation fields or describe credentials rather than a professional association. Therefore, the organization dedicated to the profession is the American Dance Therapy Association.
