The Eastern Washington Elite
Dance Team is a nationally recognized regional All-Star dance team. Our
dancers come from all over Eastern Washington and Oregon. We have
4 teams: The Elite Dance teams are directed by Coach Teri Rowe (B.A. PE/Dance, M.S. Exercise Physiology). Teri has over 25 years of coaching experience at the middle school, high school and college levels. She is the past president of the Washington State Dance Coaches Association and WA. State Spirit Judges Association. Teri has coached various teams to 13 National titles. Our program is designed to encourage participation in middle school and high school dance and cheer teams, dance studios and team sports. This is the major reason most of our teams practice on Sundays. The Elite team is an advanced, competitive experience and our goal is to continue our winning tradition at the national level with all of our teams. We have competed annually at the Seattle Sonics competition and UDA Nationals in Orlando, Florida. This event is broadcast by ESPN and is seen as the premier national championship event for dance teams! Our Open Hip Hop team will compete at USA College Nationals in Las Vegas. Winning 5 National Dance Championships in one season definitely set the bar high for the new 2007 teams, but we know we will continue our tradition by working even harder this year! Practices and classes are held at the Elite Cheer & Dance Center at 8382 Gage Blvd #N, Kennewick WA. We have a 42x46 suspended dance floor, with parent viewing areas. Practices are held on weekends to encourage students to remain active in their school sports and activities. It is not a perfect system and it takes great communication, but we have found this greatly helps students lead a full, active life at school and at home. The Sunday practices will be on a rotating schedule to allow some flexibility for families. The Elite program encourages family involvement. We know it is a large commitment on your part and we invite you to travel with our team to competitions and performances. Our success depends on the support of our great parents! Our philosophy is to set a high standard for our dancers and to do our
best to help them achieve the team goals. Developing friendships
with other area dancers is one outcome we value highly. Graduating
Seniors are provided with help in searching for college dance
scholarships, auditions and for pro experiences. We are proud to
have dancers at: 2006 AWARDS AND CHAMPIONSHIPS |
