All-State Dance Team
|
The TDEA All-State Dance Team is comprised of dancers representing schools from across the state of Texas. All-State dancers participate in an exciting convention experience that includes dance workshops, leadership training, master classes, and networking with other students. The All-State Dance Team experience culminates in a performance choreographed by a master choreographer. Each school is allowed to bring one All-State dancer per school. The dance educator from that school must stay at the convention hotel and must be either an Active member or Associate Level #1 member.
