National Honor Society for Dance Arts (NHSDA)

Celebrating leadership, artistry, and academic achievement in dance across the New River Valley.

Dance.tech proudly hosts a chapter of the National Honor Society for Dance Arts (NHSDA), an organization that recognizes middle and high school dancers who demonstrate excellence in dance, leadership, service, and character.

Our NHSDA chapter provides dancers with opportunities to grow as artists, build community, serve others, and prepare for future college or professional paths — all within a supportive and inspiring environment.

What is NHSDA?

The National Honor Society for Dance Arts is a nationwide program developed by the National Dance Education Organization (NDEO). Its purpose is to support and honor dance students who demonstrate:

  • Dedication to dance training

  • Artistic growth and creativity

  • Leadership within their school or studio

  • Commitment to community service

  • Strong academic performance and integrity

Inducted students earn national recognition for their achievements — a meaningful addition to college applications, fine arts portfolios, and resumes.
