NSDA Performing Arts Company

For students that have a more serious outlook on dancing

The NSDA Performing Arts Company is open to dancers ages 4.5–18 and is designed to offer a place for every dancer to grow and thrive. With 6 unique teams, we provide a range of commitment levels—both in training and financial investment—so families can find the perfect fit for their dancer’s goals and lifestyle.

Each of our teams is rooted in a positive, supportive environment where dancers are encouraged to build confidence, develop strong technique, and grow as performers. Our program focuses on teamwork, sportsmanship, responsibility, and discipline; all while allowing dancers to do what they love in an uplifting and inspiring space.

NSDA Company dancers have opportunities to attend conventions, compete at regional events, and participate in a national competition (depending on team placement), along with performing in our end-of-year Showcase.
