DTP Institute
Creating body trust and autonomy through movement
Find out about our mission and programs here:
The DTP Institute is a 501-c-3 global non-profit that provides resources for dance and movement instructors, educators, researchers, women’s health care providers, and public health personnel who are interested in the emerging field of dance-based health programs for girls and women.
Research tells us that dance-based group activities improve the physical and mental well-being of girls and women at critical transition points along the reproductive lifespan by promoting body trust and autonomy, and by providing supportive community.
The Institute trains dance and fitness instructors, implements group programs, provides information and guidance to birth workers and health care providers, and helps develop research projects that support girls and women through these transitions.
General knowledge and understanding of our anatomy, its physics and physiology, hormonal drifts, and assets, need to be established.
Thus: the DTP Institute.
