<p>I’m not familiar with NMHs dance program specifically but the school is strong in all arts, has a beautiful new arts center, and matches all of your other criteria including accepting some new juniors every year. My daughter picked it because the vibe was very friendly and a little more laid back but still challenging. I also know a boy who dances ballet and has been happy at Andover - he will be dancing professionally in Boston this summer. </p>
