Dance Education Standards Framework

The National Dance Society is pleased to announce the release of our National Dance Educations Standards Framework.  Three years in development, this framework, which covers grades K-12, reflects our core value that dance is an inclusive life-long, healthy activity and it is easily adopted for all dance genres.

We are grateful to the many dance experts who contributed to its development including, Daniel Alvarado, Sandy Bowie, Ronelle Eddings, Dr. Lynn Edmondson, Dr. Gayle Kassing, Gladys Keeton,  Dr. Mary Ann Laverty, Sondra McSwain, Lynn Reynolds, Lacreacia Sanders,  BJ Santos, Dawn Valentine.
