WHO WE ARE

In 2001, the Dance Kinesiology Teachersʼ Group (DKT) was established by a group of educators across several universities in the United States, many of whom had worked directly with Sally Fitt, a dance science educator and author of the well-used text, “Dance Kinesiology.” The DKT group’s mission was to help educators share teaching strategies, educational resources and meet other educators integrating dance with science and somatics. Since 2001, the initial, core group of DKT’s has grown extensively and several conferences have been organized over the last several years in order to share teaching insights and resources.
