Student Organizations

National Honor Society for Dance Arts:

The Division of Dance founded its chapter of The National Honor Society for Dance Arts in 2012, a program of The National Dance Education Organization. This chapter is composed of undergraduate and graduate students with one faculty advisor. To join the honor society, students earn points through the Collegiate National Point System within the categories of Artistic Merit, Leadership and Academic Achievement. The purpose of this honor society is 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.

Community Movers

Founded in 2015, Community Movers is a student board of representatives for current students of the Division of Dance. The board is composed of undergraduate and graduate students, with one staff or faculty advisor. The purpose of this honorary organization is to support the student body within TWU Dance both academically and creatively; provide guidance and motivation through peer mentorship; encourage students throughout the academic school year; create a non-judgmental space for students to feel acknowledged, respected, and encouraged; and provide opportunities for dance students to emerge as leaders within the community.
