Meet The Board

UKSMDT comprises a board of active practitioners and researchers who have developed the field of dance underpinned by somatic awareness in higher education contexts, and/or in the independent sector.  

You can currently study dance and somatics at MA and PhD Level in UK and Éire universities, as well as train on several independent training programmes.

Our organisation provides a regulatory body, bridging higher education, the independent sector and industry. 

Through registration and certification, UKSMDT acknowledges the unique skills and high level of training somatically informed dancers have undertaken during their careers, often studying somatic awareness at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, and in independent contexts.
