Phoenix welcomes NDEO back to its beautiful desert paradise. Dance is alive in Arizona, with a vibrant world dance scene, a professional ballet company, and many thriving contemporary dance companies. Arizona boasts three universities that offer dance degrees, an abundance of community college dance programs, and one of the largest concentrations of high school dance programs in the nation. In addition to a rich local dance community, Phoenix is host to a flourishing theater community, the Phoenix Art Museum, Phoenix Symphony, and Phoenix Opera, all surrounded by a gorgeous landscape and breathtaking sunsets. As NDEO convenes in Phoenix, we will tackle the multifaceted subject of artistic processes. The artistic processes we engage in as dance artists provide the foundation and structure through which we come to define, understand, evaluate, analyze, and create dance. These processes are innate in other disciplines and throughout everyday life: Scientists engage in them in research and experimentation; businesses utilize them to be innovative and competitive; and we all engage in artistic processes when we create a meal, select decor for our home, or write a letter.

 
 
What to Expect at Conference
   
Held annually in the fall, a typical NDEO National Conference includes three full days of over 150 workshops, master classes, panel and paper presentations, social events and performances. A full day of pre-conference intensives precedes the official start of conference. The full conference schedule is generally released online over the summer before that year's conference. For the 2015 full Conference Schedule, click here.
