TDC is honored to be a member of the National Dance Education Organization (NDEO) and a proud sponsor of Junior (Grades 6-8) and Secondary (Grades 9-12) Chapters of the National Honor Society for Dance Arts (NHSDA). The NHSDA recognizes students for their outstanding artistic merit, leadership, and academic achievement in dance. The goals of the program are:

• To promote a desire for life-long learning in the field of dance.
• To encourage an understanding of, and an appreciation for, dance as an art form and develop knowledgeable audiences for tomorrow.
• To identify honor students (grades 11 & 12) for nomination to the NHSDA Artistic Merit, Leadership and Academic Achievement Award, one of the highest honor programs for dance in the United States.
  

Induction into the NHSDA is earned through the accumulation of points awarded for dance activities such as dance classes, rehearsals, performances, research, workshops, or community service activities, alongside a minimum GPA of a 3.0. Inductees receive an official certificate and may be eligible to wear the NHSDA honor cord and gold pin during graduation ceremonies.
