Partnering with public schools throughout New Mexico, NDI-NM provides dance classes as part of each school's regular curriculum. A certified NDI-NM instructor and professional pianist teach every class. At the conclusion of each program, students celebrate and share their successes through a performance or assembly attended by family, friends, peers, and community members.

NDI-NM In-school programs are offered for one-week to 30 weeks in public schools in Santa Fe, Albuquerque, and Northern New Mexico

Our NDI-NM Residency team will travel more than 27,000 miles this year to bring our award-winning arts and physical education programs throughout the state. Students will participate in demonstration, assembly, and theater performances at the end of each residency.
