NORD/NOBA CENTER FOR DANCE; Founded in 1992 as a cultural community partnership between the New Orleans Recreation Department (NORD) and the New Orleans Ballet Association (NOBA), the Center was born out of a need to make dance accessible to all school-age children. The Center operates year-round, with a multi-tiered dance program that includes after-school and Saturday classes, a summer dance camp called Footbridge (by audition) and summer Twilight camps held at all participating NORD Centers.
