SEPTEMBER 2025 IS SMALL COLLEGE MONTH!

OUR GOAL:

To connect high school dancers, their parents, and coaches with small college/university (NAIA, DII, DIII, and 2 Year colleges) programs that have dance teams.

WHY DO WE HOST THIS EVENT?

Smaller schools have amazing opportunities, and often dancers, their parents, and high school dance team coaches haven't been introduced to them. Many are able to offer scholarships, smaller class sizes, top level competition experiences and some are even categorized as a sport with full athletic privileges.
