The National Honors for Dance Arts is a program of the National Dance Education Organization, created to recognize outstanding artistic merit, leadership, and academic achievement in students studying dance in public and private schools in K-12 education, dance studios, cultural/community centers, performing arts organizations, and post-secondary education. Throughout the week of November 15th, the Ridge Chapter of NHSDA participated in the annual, “Love Your Body Week”! This campaign is aimed to spread body positivity not only in the dance community, but in the school environment as well. Dance and Arts Teaching from a body-positive perspective is always a priority for all NHSDA host dance programs year round; however, to reinforce that consistent mission, NHSDA creates posters and index cards to hang around the building in order to spread inspiring quotes towards body positivity.
