Once a year, dance educators and their students come together to honor their peers, and enjoy the spirit of dance. The Annual Awards Banquet is a semi-formal dinner and attendance is included in all paid registrations, with the exception of Student Session.
Members who are not attending the Summer Workshops, and guests of workshop attendees are welcome to attend the banquet. Additional banquet tickets are available for $55 per person.
