This 2022-2023 Dance Season, each one of our TDA Teachers nominated one dancer for the 'More Than Just Great Dancing' Award.


"Our nominees were chosen as they exude the following More Than Just Great Dancing values: Teamwork, Dependability, Integrity, Leadership. We want to recognize these qualities and continue to encourage our nominees and all of our students to continue to exhibit them in all aspects of their lives.
