NHSDF
The largest dance festival in the United States showcasing excellence in high school dance programming. Since 1992.
National High School Dance Festival
2027 NHSDF National Festival
We are so excited to announce the dates for the
2027 National High School Dance Festival
Saturday, March 6 through Wednesday, March 10, 2027
at Point Park University in Pittsburgh, PA.
For five exhilarating days, talented high school dancers and educators from
across the globe will gather in the heart of Pittsburgh to be a part of dynamic
master classes, engaging workshops, thought-provoking discussions, and
electrifying performances. Recruiters from prestigious universities and colleges
across the nation will inspire you: sharing their expertise and wealth of
knowledge, in addition to offering thousands of dollars in scholarship monies.
Please take note that in 2027, the festival kicks off on Saturday instead of a
Wednesday (as in previous years). These changes allow us to dance in the
most beautiful theaters and stay in the best hotels in Pittsburgh.
Set on the vibrant campus of Point Park University, the NHSDFestival offers
students the chance to grow technically and artistically while building lasting
friendships with fellow dancers who share their passion. Whether you are
performing on stage, learning from master teachers, or cheering on new friends,
every moment promises heightened energy, artistry, and inspiration.
Mark your calendars and join us for an event where dedication meets joy,
and the next generation of dance artists takes center stage.
​
We look forward to greeting you in Pittsburgh, March 6-10 next year!
More details coming soon!
