We’re thrilled to launch our National Honor Society for Dance Arts (NHSDA) Chapter this season—a prestigious opportunity for high school dancers to be recognized for artistic excellence, leadership, and dedication.

Students can apply to earn induction by accumulating points through classes, performances, workshops, volunteering, and mentorship—all while maintaining strong academics. Inductees will graduate with a special honor cord and pin, celebrating their achievement in dance outside the classroom.

Interested? More info coming soon on how you/your child can begin, engage, grow, and take this passion for dance to the next level!
