The National Dance Society offers CAP as a service to dancers and dance educators who need independent, professional evaluation of their works.  It is open to NDS and non-NDS members.  Dance faculty seeking tenure/promotion may find these evaluation useful pieces in their dossier. Choreography may be submitted as research and the process of adjudication adds a level of objectivity.

The National Dance Education Standards Framework provides a comprehensive, holistic dance education curriculum to facilitate teaching and learning with dance content knowledge, skills, and specific performance indicators, preparing students for college and dance careers.
