Welcome
on the pages of the German Professional Organization For Dance Therapists, registered society (Berufsverband der TanztherapeutInnen Deutschlands e.V. - BTD). We're the only professional group of dance therapy in Germany. We protect the quality of the education and the establishment of dance therapy in health service. The BTD represents Germany as a member of the European Association Dance Movement Therapy EADMT.
In the following you will gain an insight into the structures of this professional group and get a general idea about its contents and goals.
You will get informations about dance therapy and find a register of accredited dance therapists in your area on page THERAPISTS. Accredited BTD educational institutes you will find on page INSTITUTES.

30 years BTD - Anniversary
30th General Assembly 2025 in Munich-Freising
from 07-09 February 2025 with workshops on 07 February 2025
The BTD Board of Directors cordially invites you to the General Meeting in Freising. This time it will be held exclusively in person. To mark our 30th anniversary, we have chosen the motto ‘Excellence and Innovation’.
Due to the reserved room contingent in the Pallotti House, we are sending you our invitation unusually early. Please register as soon as possible.
As always, the training programme will begin on Friday at 14:00 with interesting and topical workshops.
Young therapists will give excellent presentations on innovative topics. On the topic of professional policy, we invite everyone to experience excellence in an innovative way.
This time, we are dispensing with the online discussion groups.
On Friday evening, you can deepen existing contacts and make new ones at the popular meet & greet.
As professional policy work is becoming increasingly important and the Bundesarbeitsgemeinschaft Künstlerische Therapien (BAG KT) is active and successful in terms of professional policy, we invite you to an interesting lecture by Beatrix Evers-Grewe, the first chairwoman of the BAG KT, on Saturday morning. We are very much looking forward to her.
On Saturday evening we have every reason to celebrate: together with the BTD, three of our training institutes are celebrating their anniversary. Let us surprise you with something creative, a buffet and then a lively dance party!
On Saturday after lunch, the general meeting starts at 13:30 and ends on Sunday at 12:00. You will find the agenda, the topics of the workshops, the transfer of voting rights and a list of hotels attached to the invitation and on the BTD website. Please register using the online registration form. For student members we grant a discount of 20% on the total amount (incl. workshops).
The registration deadline is 09.11.2024
Venue:
Pallotti House Freising
