National Convention

The Awards section celebrates the exceptional achievements of dancers honored during our National Convention. We proudly recognize winners from the Solo Title Competition, Performing Arts Scholarship Competition (PASC), and Open Scholarship Auditions, celebrating both the dancers and the DMA member teachers whose guidance and dedication support their success.

This showcase honors performers distinguished by artistry, commitment, and excellence, while also recognizing the mentorship and training provided by their teachers. Each award is a tribute to hard work, collaboration, and the shared passion of dancers and educators who continue to elevate our dance community.
