The TDEA (Texas Dance Educator's Association) 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. In order to be selected, students must be a junior or senior in Amici Chorea, demonstrate strong leadership skills and reliability, and must submit a paper explaining why they deserve to represent Burges as the All-State Dancer.
