American Dance Therapy Association Historical Timeline: 1966–2016 Christina Devereaux 1 • Susan Kleinman 2 • Grace Marie Mangino Johnson 1 • Kelsey Witzling 1 Ó American Dance Therapy Association 2016 Abstract This is the first published timeline to chronicle historical facts regarding the American Dance Therapy Association (ADTA). The timeline begins in 1964 when early strategic discussions to start an association were held, including the formation of a steering committee during a meeting at Marian Chace’s apartment. The facts are reported from the ADTA’s official incorporation in 1966 through the publication of this article in 2016. In commemoration of the ADTA’s 50th anniversary, this compilation of both oral history and documented events into one timeline is intended to serve as a reference for future generations. We hope that others will continue to add to this work in progress as the association progresses into the next 50 years and beyond.
