National Honor Society for Dance Arts
CFDC is proud to be a member of the National Dance Education Organization and to sponsor our own chapter of the National Honor Society for Dance Arts (NHSDA)!
We offer Elementary, Junior, and Secondary chapters for students with a GPA of 3.0 or higher. Members meet monthly during the dance season to explore leadership, community service, and the artistry of dance. It’s a chance to grow as dancers, scholars, and changemakers—guided by mentors and inspired by peers.
Elementary Honor Society
CFDC proudly offers a unique Elementary Chapter of NHSDA for dancers in grades 3–5 who are passionate about dance and dedicated to doing their best in school.
This chapter serves as a stepping stone to our Junior program, helping young dancers build skills in balance, commitment, and community. Members meet one Saturday a month during the fall–spring season to connect, grow, and prepare for future leadership.
Requirements for all chapters:
-
Be enrolled in at least 2 dance classes at CFDC
-
Maintain a C average in school classes
-
Attend monthly meetings at the studio (meetings will typically be held monthly on Saturday mornings)
-
Participation in community outreach through CFDC this may include performances, studio sponsored volunteer opportunities, our annual fundraising programs such as iDance4aCURE and our winter Adopt a Family, etc. Many of these events are already on our Calendar on our website for reference.
-
Elementary Chapter Members will submit 3 dance-related projects each year—due in November, February, and May. Projects can be creative and fun, from drawings and posters to reports or presentations on a dancer, choreographer, or favorite style. All projects are shared at monthly meetings.
