Teams will continue to complete NFHS Squad Credentialing and have a chance to earn an NDA Nationals bid by participating in the Home Routine and/or Team Dance Evaluation (taught at camp) at a 2025 NDA Summer Camp. Click here to start your journey to nationals at an NDA Camp or contact your State Director to set up a Home Camp.
