I've examined the entire listing of all dance programs in New York State as they appear in the "Dance Magazine College Guide" and it doesn't appear as though you can find both dance education and physical therapy in the same college. It's not clear whether you're asking for a GENERAL (as in classroom) K-12 teaching certificate (which, actually, I don't think exists, as you either get a certificate in elementary or secondary education) and THEN going on for your masters in dance, but I looked up anything that would give you "K-12 Teacher Certification in Dance." Here's what I found:

NYU School of Education offers a BS, MA, EdD and PhD in Dance Education for K-12 and Teaching/Administration of Dance in Higher Education.
http://steinhardt.nyu.edu/music/page.php?page_id=507

SUNY-Brockport offers a MA in K-12 Teacher Certification in Dance.
http://www.brockport.edu/

Teachers College-Columbia University offers an MA in Dance Education with K-12 Teacher Certification.
http://www.tc.columbia.edu/

After looking up all three universities on-line, I found that only NYU offers a graduate program in physical therapy, but of course, not through their School of Education. Personally, from what I know first-hand about teacher certification programs plus my daughter's college dance program, I don't think a double major in dance teacher certification plus physical therapy is logistically possible. HOWEVER, it would be possible to do a double major in (just) dance (without the certification part) and kinesiology. Such a degree would enable you to teach dance in any place outside of K-12 settings.

I need to add that none of ruth4526 suggestions are good, as none of them offer a degree or major in dance.

Try google Alfred University and Alfred State I think one of them offer both. If not try Cortland University.
