NDEO CONFERENCE 2017DRILL TEAM AND HIGH SCHOOL DANCE PROGRAMS IS TEXASSan Antonio, Texas, USA
Co-Facilitated by Ilana Morgan and Martheya Nygaard
This panel presented diverse Texas dance educators to discuss the historical, cultural, and educational presence and power of drill team in Texas public high schools in relationship to high school dance programs. Texas boasts comprehensive and quality ‘dance as an art form’ programming at the high school level in many towns and cities throughout Texas with high school state standards adopted in 1995, and middle school standards adopted in 2013. Historically, one can cite the origins of Texas’s well established high school dance programs as built upon the culturally significant tradition of drill team. The goal of this panel discussion is to highlight the rich tradition of drill team in the Texas education system, and to also bring forward challenges, relationships, connections, and disconnections between the ‘dance as an art form’ educational approach and drill team education. Questions under consideration are: What divisions and connections exist between teaching practices and educational philosophies when examining the multiple kinds of dance education in Texas public high schools? What ideas, values, and histories uphold these varied perspectives? How do these varied cultures and pedagogies cultivate and/or abandon equity and access to dance learning? What relationships exist between Texas dance TEKS, National Standards in Dance, and personal teaching practices when examining drill team and non-drill team dance education? What are the experiences of our students when they reflect upon their learning in a Texas high school dance programs? How might drill team and/or dance as an art form attract or interrelate with different demographic groups, ie. racial, economic, gender, etc. in a Texas population that continues to grow?
