Internships

NDEO offers internship opportunities for highly motivated, independent, and mature graduate and undergraduate student members of NDEO who seek to understand dance arts education in relation to the national agenda of educational reform. Internships offer practical and challenging experiences in dance education, research, legislation, policy and funding, advocacy, arts or business administration, marketing and publications, conferences, and membership.

Student Dance Education Organization Chapters

NDEO members who are students can start Student Dance Education Organization chapters at their university or college. In addition to hosting their own activities at the school level, each student chapter may send a representative to the NDEO Student Council which meets during the annual conference. The Student Council offers students a venue to network, address issues and concerns unique to students, and propose ways NDEO can better serve its student population.
 

Conference Financial Support

As funds are available, NDEO offers financial support to students who plan to attend the annual National Conference to help defray travel and hotel expenses. Support is provided through three scholarships for graduate students and through reimbursements for conference registration fees.

Student members receive discounted conference registration rates. Students are defined as members who are in High School, or are in Undergraduate or Graduate (masters) programs at a college or university. If their school, college or university is also an Institutional Member of NDEO they qualify for the discounted student conference rate of $90. If their school is not an Institutional Member then the rate is $120. Phd / EdD candidates are not eligible for the student conference rates.
