Dance & Arts Therapy NZ (DTNZ) is a charity committed to the wellbeing and development of communities in Aotearoa. 

Our team of professional dance movement and creative arts therapists offer group and individual therapy services that embody the transformative power of dance and art therapy. We inspire personal growth, healing and positive change for children, youth/rangatahi and tāngata whaikaha (people with disabilities) as well as people of all ages experiencing mental distress or healing from the impact of trauma. DTNZ supports over 3,000 individuals annually, delivering 6,000 therapy sessions/year to clients.

The growing demand for our services highlights the importance of charitable support.
