ABOUT US
TCU Elite Dance is a strictly competitive collegiate team that competes at the local and national level. They focus on the technical aspect of dance, specifically in lyrical, jazz, and contemporary. Not only do they compete in several dance competitions, but the dancers can also be found doing fundraisers and performing both on and off-campus.
Megan McDonald founded the team in 2009, and in the team's inaugural season, they took home 1st runner up at ADTS in Denton, Texas, and placed 7th in NDA Collegiate National Finals in addition to winning 1st in the "Challenge Cup." During the 2018-2019 season, TCU Elite won second place in Division 1A Jazz at the ADTS National Championships! Elite has attended USA Nationals in Anaheim, California, and placed in the Top 5 for the 2015-2018 years. This past year, the team placed 3rd in the Nation, making TCU dance team history! We are very thankful to our wonderful supporters both at TCU and local businesses and look forward to the coming year!
