National Dance Education Organization (NDEO) is a national nonprofit membership association in the performing arts that supports dance education. Based in Silver Spring, Maryland, it serves dance educators, artists, students, and administrators across studios, K-12 schools, colleges, performing arts organizations, and community centers by providing resources, a professional community, education, and leadership development opportunities. The organization aims to make equitable and accessible dance education available to all, grounded in core values such as inclusion, advocacy, innovation, excellence, community, and teaching and learning. NDEO serves members across a range of environments, including studios, K-12 schools, colleges, performing arts organizations, and community centers, through professional development and resources that support teaching, advocacy, artistry, and leadership. A notable recent development is the retirement of its executive director in mid-2025, marking a leadership transition for the organization.
