NDI Alumni Network

Dance With Us Once, Dance With Us Forever

You carry NDI with you everywhere—in your confidence, your creativity, and yes, in your muscle memory. Welcome back.

The Movement’s in Your Memory

Twenty years later, our alum can still perform the entirety of "Why Dance Because."
Why? Because NDI doesn't just teach steps—we build a bond that lives in your bodies and memories.

It’s more than nostalgia. It's about belonging to something that becomes part of who you are. The movement techniques, the community spirit, and the joy of shared creation stay with you throughout your life.

The NDI Impact

As a student, you experienced something rare: rigorous arts education without toxic perfectionism. You built friendships and confidence through rehearsals and collaboration. You learned that excellence isn't about being the best in the room—it's about encouraging the best in everyone around you.

I learned to engage with life in a joyful way. From Jacques to Ellen through the long line of teachers, NDI instills a passion for exploring the world that extends far beyond the classroom or dance studio.

NDI Alumn

I learned fellowship, discipline, and that I'm valuable and important. I didn't know to really appreciate what NDI did in my life then because I was so young, but I never forget that NDI always will be my family. NDI shaped my life.
