NATIONAL HONORS SOCIETY FOR DANCE ARTS INFO:

Dancers in grades 9-12 must achieve 30 points to be eligible for induction. Any combination of points may be used as long as the total is 30. Summer activities count towards points. Dancers in grades 6-8 must achieve 15 points to be eligible for induction.
We will induct all dancers who meet the 30/15 point minimum and submit their summary and proof by April 21, 2024 at the May 25, 2024 Spring Dance Concert.

The National Honor Society for Dance Arts is run on an institutional basis. Chapters at the Junior, Secondary, and Collegiate level are set up at individual schools, and only students who are enrolled at that school may apply for induction. Individual students, not enrolled at a school that hosts a current NHSDA Chapter, are not eligible for induction.
