SOUTH TEXAS DANCE TEAM COMBINE
Regional Mission
The South Texas Dance Team Combine was created to give dancers in Laredo, South Texas, and the Rio Grande Valley access to the kind of training and college-program exposure that often requires travel to a major city.
Middle school, high school, and college-age athletes train with Division 1 dance team instructors, coaches, choreographers, and dancers. In addition to dance training, it provides networking opportunities for dance athletes who wish to pursue a college dance team career.

Training focus
The final class lineup changes with the faculty, but may include pom, jazz, hip hop, turn technique, progressions, performance quality, conditioning, audition preparation, and other dance-team skills.
Build fundamentals early and learn what future school and college dance-team pathways can require.
Strengthen performance and audition skills while exploring potential college programs.
Continue training, prepare for auditions, or deepen skills relevant to collegiate and professional team environments.
Attend together to raise technical standards, build shared vocabulary, and bring new energy back to the team.
No! The Combine serves all dancers pursuing or interested in dance-team training, including studio dancers, school dance team members, and individual athletes preparing for future auditions.
Tracks are split by age/grade level (Middle School, High School, Collegiate). Dancers should have a solid foundation in dance technique and a strong desire to learn and push their physical limits. The Combine is not suited for the absolute beginner dancer.
Registered dancers receive a detailed packing list covering dance attire, shoes, and hair requirements.
Observation passes will be sold for the Combine.
