Although going back to school this fall is going to look different across America, the primary role of a dancer remains the same – support the success of others and create a welcoming, spirited atmosphere for all.

Continuing Education (CEU) credit is a nationally recognized measure of sponsored activity through institutes, workshops and short courses. In some states, it will apply toward pay increases, certificate renewal or in-service training. Each coach will have to contact their local school board to know if any of these options apply in their state. CEU credit workshops are conducted after camp through Varsity University. Information to be sent out after attending NDA camp.
